Pillar I
Applied Computing for Industry
We work with SMEs, large companies, and academic researchers to apply modern computing — GPU acceleration, cloud and edge workflows, digital twins — to engineering problems they couldn't tackle before.

ACIC is a University of New Brunswick research centre that applies high-performance computing, physics-based modelling, and scientific software development to complex engineering problems in ocean and defence domains. Our work spans GPU-accelerated computational fluid dynamics, reduced-order and machine learning surrogate models, and simulation tools for ship and underwater vehicle maneuvering. We have worked alongside DRDC continuously since 2000, contributing CFD research and software development that directly supports the DRDC Submarine Simulation Package (DSSP) and its application to the Royal Canadian Navy's Victoria Class submarines.
Pillar II
Manycore HPC Research
Our in-house supercomputing infrastructure and proprietary CFD tools support ocean and environmental modelling, virtual prototyping, and research into the next generation of manycore computing architectures.
Pillar III
Government Research
ACIC provides engineering and scientific research support to DRDC, DND, and other federal agencies. Our longest-running government engagement is submarine hydrodynamics research in support of the Victoria Class program — work that began in 2000 and continues today.
