Technical Support for ARPA Computing Research Programs

Abstract

Task Objectives: Provide state-of-the-art computational resources to ARPA and to other DoD agencies that cooperate with ARPA in joint program efforts. These efforts include a number of computational research support efforts, the continued acquisition of computer resources, the continued development and support of a commercial mail system, and the continued evolution of a state-of-the-art workstation environment. They require moving aggressively into new architectures and configuring sophisticated server/workstation frameworks which provide significantly higher machine cycles to researchers at a much lower cost. Capitalizing on this experience for the government by transitioning this architecture to ISTO, thereby providing a wealth of capability to ARPA program managers, including advanced workstations that furnish powerful programming and administrative functionality, and file servers that supply large storage facilities, mail service, and file archiving. Develop and maintain an expertise in the latest information processing technology. Purchase, install and maintain state-of-the art machines, and advanced network technology, along with developing network protocols that fully support the Internet, local area networks, and interconnected workstations.
