We review recent progress with fixed-order QCD predictions for high multiplicity processes at hadron colliders, using the programs BlackHat and SHERPA. We present general features of next-to-leading-order (NLO) predictions for processes with up to five jets. We also review recent progress in developing theoretical tools for high-multiplicity loop-computation within the BlackHat-library. This includes the developing of n-tuples to separate the lengthy matrix-element computations from the analysis process and allow direct use by experimentalists and the phenomenology community.
