High-Performance Computing Opportunities and Challenges for Army R&D
Abstract
Members of this project have studied the academic and industrial uses of High Performance Computing (HPC) and have conducted site visits at a number of Army R&D HPC user and provider sites, including the Medical Research and Materiel Command (MRMC), Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), the Army Research Lab's Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC), the Developmental Test Command (DTC), Research, Development, and Engineering Command's (RDECOM's) Communications- Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering (RD&E) Center (CERDEC), Scalable Network Technologies, Inc., and the Director for Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) for Future Combat Systems (FCS) at Boeing, Huntington Beach, California. Because of the breadth of possible uses of HPC in Army R&D, our client asked us to concentrate on two HPC application areas: biotechnology and biomedicine, and modeling and simulation of the complex battlefield wireless network communication systems. We did so, and concluded that these areas are of great importance and merit focused funding and attention.
