Contributions to DoD Mission Success from High Performance Computing - March 1995

Abstract

High performance computing (HPC) plays a crucial enabling role for DoD scientists and engineers. The DoD HPC Modernization Program (HPCMP) critically impacts the conduct of science and technology as well as test and evaluation initiatives by integrating, deploying, and maintaining technologically superior advanced computing and communications capabilities. The HPOMP acquires these advanced capabilities as a major contribution to defense system research, design, and development. These HPO capabilities also significantly cut defense system costs by shortening the design cycle and reducing reliance on expensive and destructive live fire and model testing. In its first year of operation, the HPCMP has provided computational resources that have already yielded improved results for scientists and engineers solving DoD mission problems. The HPCMP creates a high performance computing environment that provides DoD scientists and engineers the resources needed to successfully execute their mission. They can access complete HPC facilities from their workstations to either their local sites or remote locations across the nation through the highest commercially available networks. This report contains an extensive selection of abstracts of DoD mission research successes enabled by both the new DoD HPCMP systems and a few other systems. The abstracts are chosen to illustrate the role of HPC in both basic and applied research, by both DoD laboratories and supporting academic and contractor participants, and to both warfighting and civilian sector purposes.
