Network-Centric Computing for Global System Science
Abstract
Support is requested for SAGE (Simulated Anticipation of Global Events), a large-scale sharedmemory computational system, to support our ongoing DoD work (specifically the DefenseThreat Reduction Agency, DTRA) developing high performance global system science. Thesecomputational foundations and engineering principles sustain DoD and DTRA’s missions toprevent, plan for and respond to (human-initiated and natural) global/societal events such aspandemics, large-scale urbanization and migration caused by societal unrest and shiftingresources and opportunities, and cascading failures across multiple infrastructures caused byWMD, cyber-attack or a natural event such as a hurricane. The Zika outbreak and possibility of itbecoming a global public health crisis provides an urgent and critical need for SAGE.
