About this file
This is a presentation document outlining the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), a Department of Defense initiative.
The HPCMP, initiated in 1993 under Congressional mandate, is a department-wide program administered by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on behalf of Army ASLT with joint service execution across the Air Force, Army, Navy, and department agencies including DTRA, MDA, and DARPA. The program's mission is to accelerate the development and transition of warfighting capabilities through advanced computing, networking, software, security, and computational expertise, supporting approximately 33,000 Department scientists and engineers. Major functions include five DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (Ohio), Aberdeen Proving Ground (Maryland), Vicksburg (Mississippi), Stennis Space Center (Mississippi), and Kihei, Maui (Hawaii), providing large-scale systems with capabilities ranging from 4.2 to 17.65 peak PFLOPS. The program operates the Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN), a high-bandwidth, low-latency wide-area network with a 100 Gbps dedicated backbone connecting 238 DREN sites and 112 SDREN sites with aggregate site bandwidth of 1,741 Gbps.
The program delivers Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) software for design, modeling, analysis, and validation across multiple domains (CREATE-AV for aircraft, CREATE-GV for ground vehicles, CREATE-SH for ships, CREATE-RF for radio frequency, and CREATE-FT for finite element analysis). Productivity Enhancement and Training (PET) resources provide access to computational subject matter experts through training, mission projects, outreach initiatives, and special projects designed to improve software scaling, portability, and functionality. Access to HPCMP resources is available to Department researchers and engineers, Department contractors, university staff working on Department research grants, and non-U.S. citizens under specified conditions. The program is critical to Department of Defense operations, enabling improvements to over 50 Major Defense Acquisition Programs and supporting development of next-generation multi-domain operational capabilities while complementing iterative developmental and operational testing.
