Center for High Performance Systems

Center for High Performance Systems

The Center for High Performance Systems at Texas State University-San Marcos (CHiPS) is engaged in developing and applying modeling and analysis tools and techniques for improving the operations of manufacturing and service industries. The research effort is focused on characterizing the next generation factories, material handling and logistic systems that will be required to support production and distribution of goods and services in the next few decades.

One of the many benefits of partnering with CHiPS is that we provide the support that any organization needs in order to create, deploy, and maintain their simulation modeling and analysis skills and capabilities.Other benefits include:

• Access to experts with a wide range of experimental, theoretical and simulation skills.
• Access to knowledge and tools for modeling and analysis.
• Ease of establishing collaborative agreements.
• Access to undergraduate engineering students through internship programs.
