High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) is a focused research and development program that creates a new generation of high productivity computing systems, including software tools, architectures, and hardware components, that are economically viable for the national security and industrial user communities.
High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) is a focused research and development program that creates a new generation of high productivity computing systems, including software tools, architectures, and hardware components, that are economically viable for the national security and industrial user communities. HPCS systems will improve by orders of magnitude the effectiveness of humans and computers in solving problems in the high performance computing domain. HPCS systems will have the following four important attributes: (1) Performance: Improve the computational efficiency and reduce the execution time of critical national security applications. (2) Programmability: Reduce cost and time of developing HPCS applications. (3) Portability: Insulate HPCS application software from system specifics. (4) Robustness: Improve reliability and reduce vulnerability to intentional attacks.
