HPCC Program Strategies 



Develop, through industrial collaboration, high performance comput- 

 ing systems using scalable parallel designs and technologies capable of 

 sustaining at least one trillion operations per second (teraops) perfor- 

 mance on large scientific and engineering problems such as Grand 

 Challenges. 



Support all HPCC components by helping to expand and upgrade the 

 Internet. 



Develop the networking technology required for deployment of nation- 

 wide gigabit speed networks through collaboration with industry. 



Demonstrate the productiveness of wide area gigabit networking to sup- 

 port and enhance Grand Challenge applications collaborations. 



Demonstrate prototype solutions of Grand Challenge problems that 

 achieve and exploit teraops performance. 



Provide and encourage innovation in the use of high performance com- 

 puting systems and network access technologies for solving Grand 

 Challenge and other applications by establishing collaborations to pro- 

 vide and improve emerging software and algorithms. 



Create an infrastructure, including high performance computing 

 research centers, networks, and collaborations that encourage the dif- 

 fusion and use of high performance computing and communications 

 technologies in U.S. research and industrial applications. 



Work with industry to develop information infrastructure technology to 

 support the National Information Infrastructure. 



Leverage the HPCC investment by working with industry to implement 

 National Challenge applications. 



Enhance computational science as a widely recognized discipline for 

 basic research by establishing nationally recognized and accepted edu- 

 cational programs in computational science at the pre-college, under- 

 graduate, and postgraduate levels. 



Increase the number of graduate and postdoctoral fellowships in com- 

 puter science, computer engineering, computational science and engi- 

 neering, and informatics, and initiate undergraduate computational 

 sciences scholarships and fellowships.
