Rescale and US National Labs Form Initiative to Bring DOE Simulation Codes to American Industry

Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories propose partnering with Rescale to make DOE simulation codes accessible through agentic AI SAN FRANCISCO, June 9, 2026 — Rescale today announced a landmark proposed collaboration with three premier U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and […] The post Rescale and US National Labs Form Initiative to Bring DOE Simulation Codes to American Industry appeared first on HPCwire .

Why this matters
Why now

The US is prioritizing the transfer of advanced federal research capabilities to the private sector to maintain technological leadership and boost domestic industry, particularly in simulation and AI.

Why it’s important

This initiative democratizes access to sophisticated DOE simulation codes, potentially accelerating innovation and competitive advantage for American industries that previously lacked such resources.

What changes

American companies, particularly SMEs, gain access to advanced simulation capabilities via AI agents, lowering barriers to entry for complex R&D that was once exclusive to national labs.

Winners
  • · Rescale
  • · US Manufacturing Sector
  • · American Industry R&D
  • · Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Losers
  • · Companies without access to advanced simulation platforms
  • · International competitors reliant on less advanced simulation tools
Second-order effects
Direct

American companies gain enhanced simulation and modeling capabilities, leading to faster product development and optimization.

Second

Increased adoption of agentic AI in industrial design and engineering workflows across various US sectors.

Third

The US national industrial base strengthens its technological edge through advanced simulation, potentially impacting global competitiveness in critical sectors.
