High Performance Computing and Communications: New Program Direction Would Benefit from a More Focused Effort

Abstract

The federal High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC)program aims to accelerate research and development of high performance computers and networks and promote the use of those resources in both the federal government and the private sector. A successful HPCC program could significantly extend U.S. technological leadership and enhance national competitiveness. Given the potential impact of the HPCC program on both government and industry, the House Armed Services Committee asked GAO to examine (1) the effectiveness of the programs management structure in setting goals and measuring progress and (2) how extensively private industry has been involved in the planning and execution of the program.
