Trusted Silicon Stratus for Microelectrontics Assurance

Amount: $149,997 Topic: AF161-150

ABSTRACT: Nimbis Services, Inc. Trusted Silicon Stratus Microelectronics Assurance (TSSMA) response to Topic AF161-150: Cloud Services for Trustworthy Microelectronics Assurance will provide a collaborative ecosystem to address the challenge of trustworthy microelectronics in the commercial and DoD supply chain.This will be accomplished through identification, hosting, optimization, and DoD community deployment of current and emerging trustworthy tools and techniques in a trusted cloud based collaborative multi-tenancy eco-system.The objective is to develop a process for hardware assurance in the design and integrity of microelectronics across the life cycle that can be accessed by users.The Nimbis proposed effort will meet this objective by extending its Trusted Silicon Stratus (TSS) Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) eco-system, developed under Air Force Rapid Innovation Funding.While continuing to address Trust in Design (TiD), the TSS will be extended beyond the design phase to incorporate tools and techniques developed for the fabrication, packaging, acquisition, and sustainment phase and establish a process to help ensure the design and integrity of microelectronics across the entire life cycle.The primary Phase I emphasis is on the identification and study of trustworthy microelectronics processes, techniques, tools, and technology that may be hosted and integrated within the TSS eco-system.; BENEFIT: TSSMA will greatly enhance trustworthy microelectronics implementation success and DoD community deployment by providing trustworthy design-to-release and manufacturing-to-operational life-cycle management of chip designs.Nimbis Services is uniquely positioned to develop and commercialize the TSSMA for the government, DoD contractor, manufacturing and commercial industry with a specific early focus on the defense primes and suppliers.In addition, TSSMA strengthens our commercial cloud based suite of brokerage and ecommerce web services that connect users with third-party High Performance Computing (HPC) resources, commercial engineering, manufacturing, industrial, and application software, and domain specific expertise in a secure environment.

Beyond APPs - Workflows of APPs

Amount: $149,999 Topic: 02a

Statement of Problem. A series of national innovation reports, surveys, case studies, and specifically results from recent small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) pilots have uncovered inadequate adoption of HPC and modeling and simulation technology in manufacturing. As a direct result, much emphasis is now being placed on the development of applications (APPs) for very specific domains and use cases to address this shortfall. APP developments represent a very important first step, but ultimately SMEs want a tailored workflow comprised of multiple APPs, engineering applications (e.g. Matlab), visualization tools, and possibly limited use of finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and process tools. The next logical step is Workflows of APPs. Approach. The Nimbis Services and UCLA proposed solution, in the context of the Smart Manufacturing Coalition (SMLC) community, is an open Workflow of APPs environment that supports the sequential execution of hybrid workflows of APPs, engineering analysis, and manufacturing processes comprised of third party commercial, open source, and academic applications. Based on our experience with Kepler and other cloud based business workflow tools, our technical approach is to tap into the very active OpenStack and OpenShift communities to develop an open WOA solution tailored for SMEs. The WOA primary hosting environment will be cloud platforms but will also support hybrid cloud//HPC platforms. WOA benefits from Nimbis Services commercial cloud technical computing marketplace, APP hosting infrastructure, and previous extensive multi-domain workflow requirements studies which will enable early prototyping during Phase I. Commercial Applications and Benefits. The SMLC identified that by lowering the implementation barriers around cost, complexity, ease-of-use, measurement and computing availability, the U.S. manufacturing industry could deploy foundational infrastructure for vertically and horizontally oriented manufacturing intelligence to collectively strengthen capability. By lowering the cost and effort to implement and support these technologies across the supply chain, small and medium sized companies are incentivized to adopt new manufacturing practices that improve their performance. Key Words. Smart manufacturing, supply chain optimization, process workflows, APPs, HPC modeling and simulation, data analytics, cloud computing, security, OpenStack. Congressional Summary. The WOA will transform manufacturing through the use of cloud based workflows of APPS using vertically integrated data driven analytics, HPC modeling and simulation techniques to provide real-time sophisticated manufacturing intelligence. The reduction of the implementation barriers around cost, complexity, ease-of-use, measurement and computing availability will assist small and medium sized companies.

System Modeling and Digital Analysis Ecosystem (SMDAE)

Amount: $149,991 Topic: 02 a

Foundational studies of desktop-bound technical computing users, referred to as the missing-middle of the high performance computing (HPC) market, have identified the lack of simple software, limited access to technical talent, and difficulty in estimating the return on investment (ROI) as critical challenges in the adoption of HPC among small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The complexity and rigid organizational structure of these tools are a mismatch for companies that traditionally rely on shared tribal knowledge and follow an artisan process of physical experimentation rather than digital simulation. The proposed solution is to develop a commercial a turnkey HPC solution that enables an artisan process of digital experimentation more appropriate for the missing middle manufacturing. Nimbis Services will partner with the University of Southern California to develop a turnkey HPC service for small and medium-sized engineering and manufacturing firms based on Wolfram Research recently released component flow based SystemModeler and Mathematica for interactive visualization and statistical analysis hosted on the Nimbis ecommerce on-demand technical computing marketplace. Commercial Applications and Benefits: The SMDAE will enable small and medium sized U.S. companies to access on-demand pay-as-you-go HPC systems and software that reduces the up-front investment required for manufacturers to experiment with HPC- driven modeling and simulation and allows these companies to gradually increase their investment in technology as they see a return. On-demand access to scalable high performance computing and revolutionary system-level modeling and simulation tool SystemModeler combined with easy-to-use front-end capability in Mathematica gives small and medium-sized firms the same competitive advantage currently enjoyed by large corporations that have the resources to sustain an in-house digital manufacturing enterprise.

Manufacturing Expertise as a Service Portal

Amount: $147,796 Topic: 02 d

A series of national innovation reports, surveys, and case studies sponsored by the Council on Competitiveness, University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute, industry groups, and government agencies uncovered inadequate adoption of high performance computing (HPC) technology in business because of a pervasive lack of expertise on the technologies associated with HPC (hardware, system software, and applications) and an inability for companies to determine HPCs potential return on investment (ROI) for their business. In addition it was found that companies partnering with academic and laboratory HPC centers achieved breakthrough discoveries and consider the centers a national hidden gem that should be promoted far more aggressively to U.S. businesses. The Nimbis Services, Inc. proposed approach is the implementation of a cloud marketplace Manufacturing Expertise-as-a-Service (MEaaS) that matches available computing, software, and human expertise resources with an initial focus on DOE national laboratorys technology and experts with a natural expansion to include consulting firms, individuals, other government laboratories, academic centers and nonprofit manufacturing centers to assist industry in solving their real world problems using state of the art tools and resources. Commercial Applications and Benefits: The rapid growth of the internet as a global innovation stimulant has already demonstrated what happens when the barriers to information are lowered. MEaaS has the potential of creating the next wave of innovation by unlocking the human capital (expertise) beyond the boundaries of just large companies, academic, and laboratories in solving real world problems.
