Department of Energy (DOE) 



DOE'S goals in the HPCC Program are to enable effective applications of HPCC technolo- 

 gies and the emerging National Information Infrastructure (Nil) to scientific problems that 

 are critical to implementing the Energy Policy Act (PL 102-486), other DOE mission pro- 

 grams, and the national interest. DOE's missions encompass such diverse activities as 

 energy technologies, studies of energy supply and usage in the U.S., environmental remedi- 

 ation, fundamental research, investigations in the health and environmental sciences, and 

 national security. 



To better understand combustion pro- 

 cesses and the effluent gases produced 

 by tfiese processes, tiydrogen/air turbu- 

 lent reading flame streams are studied. 

 From left to right, false color renderings 

 of the temperature. OH radical concen- 

 tration, and NO concentrations are 

 shown. Low values are in blue and high 

 values in red. (Temperatures in the left 

 image range from 30 C to 2.800 C and 

 the visible flame is in the red band.) 

 The research and object oriented paral- 

 lel software are the products of a collab- 

 oration among Sandia National 

 Laboratory. Lawrence Berkeley 

 Laboratory, and the University of 

 California at Berkeley. 



All five components of the HPCC Program are important 

 to achieving DOE's goals. The DOE program for FY 

 1994 will continue to build on the foundation of joint 

 interagency, interdisciplinary, and private sector collabo- 

 rations established during the earlier phases of the 

 HPCC Program. 



With its focus on applying HPCC technologies, it is criti- 

 cal that the DOE effectively encourage technology trans- 

 fer and collaborations among researchers in different 

 disciplines and among researchers and their counter- 

 parts in U.S. commercial enterprises. In order to ensure 

 the effectiveness of this approach, the program: 



J Funds activities in cooperation with other DOE 

 mission programs that will develop and use HPCC 

 technology. 



-J Involves end users of the technology to the maxi- 

 mum extent possible in the initial and ongoing 

 evaluation of projects. 



J Carries out work with industrial partners, generally 

 through Cooperative Research and Development 

 Agreements (CRADAs). 



The Office of Scientific Computing has been assigned 

 the lead responsibility for Department-wide participation 

 in the HPCC Program.
