WelcomeThe Indiana Initiative for Economic Development (IIED) is a partnership program intended to encourage Indiana industries that have the potential to help advance the technological growth of Indiana. Specifically, it provides high performance computing resources and expertise to Indiana companies whose projects show the promise of building Indiana’s competitiveness in the high-tech arena by creating new technology-related jobs in Indiana, new technology-related companies, or new technologies themselves. IIED is open to Indiana companies of any size, new or established, as well as start-ups. The resources it offers are ideal for manufacturing R&D, drug discovery, engine and vehicle design, and other technological development. The program offers time on the e1350 Blade Center Cluster — one of the top university-owned supercomputers in the nation. It also offers support in using the machine — all at no cost. A massively parallel cluster of IBM JS21 Blade nodes, this computer is the perfect platform for testing cutting-edge ideas, and a resource for developing your own expertise in parallel computing. The IIED program is a partnership among IBM, Indiana University, Purdue University, and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. We invite you to read the materials in this web site, and consider how your company might apply these resources to its work in contributing to the continued development of the high-tech sector in Indiana.Danko Antolovic |
