High Performance Computing Modernization Program
Abstract
The High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) addresses the supercomputing requirements of DoD scientists and engineers by (1) demonstrating/maturing the most advanced, leading-edge computational architectures and exploiting these systems with complementary specialized expertise; (2) demonstrating/maturing the Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) which investigates/demonstrates/matures leading-edge digital networking and security technologies to securely deliver computational capabilities to the distributed DoD RDT&E community; and (3) leveraging specialized expertise from DoD, other federal departments/agencies, industry, and academia to demonstrate/mature leading-edge software application codes. DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs) provide extensive computational capabilities and demonstrate/mature emerging technologies that address the supercomputing requirements of the DoD RDT&E community in the areas of hardware, software, and programming environments. All HPCMP sites are interconnected to each other, the DoD HPC RDT&E community, and other major defense sites via DREN, a research network which investigates/demonstrates/matures (a) state-of-the-art digital networking technologies to ensure a robust distributed environment and (b) the most advanced digital security capabilities to effectively protect the intellectual property of the DoD and its contract entities, when employing HPCMP advanced capabilities. The HPCMP's software application effort (a) optimizes/enhances/demonstrates/matures critical DoD physics-based and parallel discrete event software in order to allow scientists and engineers to execute scientific calculations with precision and efficiency on advanced, leading-edge supercomputers, (b) demonstrates/matures robust immersive collaborative programming environments to improve science and engineering workflows, and (c) demonstrates/matures leading-edge computational technology from academia and industry. These synergistic activities collectively demonstrate/mature horizontal technologies that are exploited throughout the DoD RDT&E community, ensuring the DoD maintains the most advanced research ecosystem in the areas of computationally-intensive modeling and design. Work in this project supports the Army S&T Innovation Enablers Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
