HPCMP Strategic Plan 2012

Our vision is one in which a pervasive culture exists within the DoD that drives the routine use of advanced computational environments to solve the Department’s most critical mission challenges.

The mission of the DoD HPCMP is to accelerate technology development and transition into superior defense capabilities through the strategic application of high performance computing, networking, and computational expertise.

HPCMP resources supported modeling and simulation, test and evaluation.

High-fidelity battlefield scenes are radiometrically corrected and the targets are projected in real-time to tactical missile and sensor systems.

This allows testers to create any physical environment; alter the terrain, target, and vegetation; and change engagement practices.

HPCMP assets provided complete conceptualization of candidate designs. The HPC resources were used to examine mechanisms, screen design options and down-select armor configurations.

Verification testing proved HPC design capabilities and validated accelerated acquisition cycle due to closely coupled HPC/experimental approach.

DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs)

Five Large HPC Centers

The Program supports five DoD Supercomputing

Resource Centers. These capabilities provide DoD’s scientists and engineers with the resources necessary to solve the most demanding computational problems.

Each Center is a robust complement of HPC capabilities that include: large-scale HPC systems, high-speed networking, multi-petabyte archival mass storage systems, and customer support services. Additionally, a

Consolidated Customer Assistance Center and two Data

Analysis and Assessment Centers offer services to the

DoD HPC user community. The collective set of centers:

Support some of the world's largest computational projects

Address expanding DoD requirements for HPC capability

Deliver 1.467 billion core hours of computing power in
