Commitment to support the Warfighter and protect our nation drives the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) mission. To accomplish this mission, the HPCMP focuses on five goals:

Maintain Leadership

• Continue to effectively deliver high-performance computing capabilities to the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) and Acquisition Engineering (AE) communities
• Pursue new service delivery models that better align the Services with unique customer requirements

Expand the Base

• Expand the application of HPC into emerging and non-traditional DoD mission areas

Increase Customer Productivity

• Provide portal tools that will support the seamless execution of workflows, make HPC services easily consumable by the next-generation workforce, and address the security barriers associated with connecting distributed desktops to centralized resources
• Inject emerging applicable technologies into HPCMP service delivery model

Exploit Next-Generation Technologies

• Anticipate and exploit next-generation HPC technologies
  • Involvement in exa-scale initiatives, research investments in future HPC capabilities
  • The development of a software investment strategy that will position the DoD to efficiently consume future computing and communications capabilities

Develop the Workforce

• Develop and provide materials and experiences that create both a computationally literate technical workforce for the DoD, and a cadre of computational professionals to provision HPC services
  • Investments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs, support for internships, and involvement in national initiatives that attract and engage with the next-generation workforce
