released September 27, 2005

The Council on Competitiveness has announced that "HPC in Everyday Life," a DVD about the importance of high-performance computing (HPC), is now available via the Council's website at http://www.compete.org/. Created by DreamWorks Animation SKG in collaboration with the Council and narrated by the penguin characters from the hit movie "Madagascar," the video illustrates how HPC impacts the daily life of the average consumer and demonstrates the need for continued support.

"High-performance computing is essential in creating movies like 'Shrek' or 'Madagascar'—we simply would not be able to produce them without it," said Ed Leonard, chief technology oOfficer for DreamWorks Animation SKG. "We wanted to help showcase the many ways HPC supports leading businesses as well as how it touches people's lives every day."
