This message serves as official notice that the DOW High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) is soliciting interest in submission of proposals from the HPCMP user community addressing a need for HPC resources that cannot be obtained through usage of standard HPC resources available in any of the five DSRCs.
The first step in this process requires interested parties to completely fill-out the attached form entitled “Indication of Interest in Submitting a Dedicated HPC Initiatives (DHPI) Proposal to HPCMP” (Click Here). All submissions will be reviewed and ranked by the appropriate Service/Agency Principals for HPCMP. A small subset of these entries will be selected to proceed to full proposal that provides greater detail into the proposed work, its impact to DOW, and a justification for DHPI resources. Please be advised that the cap for the DHPI hardware funding is set at $2M/system without written consent from HPCMP Leadership. DHPI systems must be co-located at one of the HPCMP DSRCs unless written approval is obtained from HPCMP Leadership for alternate location.
It is important to note that the DHPI funding only covers purchase of the hardware—all other costs incurred including labor, commercial or licensed software, contracting services, facility preparation, specialized networking solutions, extended warranties, and maintenance shall be covered by the proposing organization.
Please address all questions to Dr. Frances Hill (
