The companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:

One of the 4GB DIMMs had ECC errors, so it got replaced with one from the spare parts kit they brought along.
NSF MSGI research associate Arthur Mills and his mentor Wu Zhang outside of the JOULE supercomputer at NETL in Morgantown, WV. Arthur is studying Description of 3D Configuration. This project develops mathematics description of objects. Equations, and Matlab code will be needed to construct image of object in 3D space. There are several such problems in NETL’s research challenge list. The researcher of this project will be asked to work on one or more of them based on their own interests and background. One group of problems comes from the need to supply 3D printer an algorithm and/code with which an object can be manufactured through 3D printing. One of the objects would be a screw, and the other would be a hollow circular tube with arms at three different locations with each orientated differently around the tube. The other group of problem is represented by the image of a long rod in a curved tube. This is a simulation of the bending status of drill string in directional well, as commonly occurred in drilling an oil and gas well. The validation of the mathematic description of the object is expected to be conducted by providing 3D imaging of the objects with a series of cross section images staking over one and another. If time allow, the objects will be made to perform certain motion. For example, the motion can be rotating the screw or moving the rod downward simulating the drilling progress.
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Oct. 16, 2015) -- The U.S. Army introduced its newest supercomputer, Excalibur, which will help to ensure Soldiers have the technological advantage on the battlefield, officials said.
The Excalibur is the 19th most powerful computer in the world. About 50 officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Center.

Computers have been an important tool at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory since its inception. Researchers utilized UNIVAC computers in the early 1950s, and now have access to some of the fastest supercomputers in the world to support stewardship of the nation's nuclear weapons as well as for basic science research.

The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.
Bravura Information Technologies was the presenting sponsor of the event. Additional funding was provided by Harford County Office of Economic Development, APG Federal Credit Union, SURVICE Engineering, Harford Community College, AFCEA, IRA, Association of Old Crows, Tenax Technologies, Northeastern Maryland Technology Council, Veteran Corps of America, Profile Partners, Leidos, Cray Supercomputers, CACI, ManTech, Jacobs, Adams Communication, Booz Allen, Camber, Jones Junction Greater Harford Committee, Signatech, Cecil College and many more businesses.

Mickey Leland research associate Diana Alvarado working in the lab with mentor Biswanath Dutta. Diana is working on the Reaction Engineering Team at NETL studying Synthesis and Characterization of high-energy-surface structures/facets for alkane dehydrogenation reactions. In this research, Diana will learn how to conduct database searching and how to use NETL supercomputer Joule 2.0 to perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations and lattice phonon dynamics simulation with existing software packages (VASP, PhonoPy, etc.). This project is directly related to our research tasks of the on-going NETL Carbon Capture FWP on developing CO2 capture & utilization technologies for fighting global warming.
The service area behind Hopper, a supercomputer housed at NERSC, forms a narrow tunnel. Here one of the attendees in my group is walking through it. The painted racks are on the right - I think the racks on the left also belong to Hopper.

Fummi and Arinze from Nigeria after our Cultural Orientation dinner. Arinze would like people to know that "One in five black people is a Nigerian. People believe Nigerians are very enterprising, maybe that's why the supercomputer "deep blue" that beat the worlds greatest chess grandmaster Kasparov was designed by a Nigerian: Philip Emeagwali."

Through years of steady investment and research, high performance computing in Europe has started paying returns to many parts of the economy - aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy, automotive, the environment and climate research. But the best could be yet to come, as computing powers worldwide jump upwards and HPC becomes an essential tool for competitiveness across the European economy. In short, supercomputers will be for all, no longer a few.
