The High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) Program: Technologies for the national information infrastructure
The Federal HPCC Program is a 10-agency billion dollar per year effort to accelerate the development of high performance computing and communications technologies and the diffusion of these technologies to improve U.S. competitiveness and the well-being of citizens. The panelists will describe accomplishments and plans in: (1) developing scalable computing systems and associated software that scales to sustained teraflops (trillions of floating point operations per second) performance; (2) developing gigabit (billions of bits) per second networking technologies; (3) broadening network connectivity to the research and education communities; (4) demonstrating prototype solutions to ``Grand Challenge`` applications; (5) developing ``National Challenge`` applications in areas such as education and lifelong learning, health care, manufacturing processes and products, and public access to government information, as well as crisis and emergency management, electronic commerce, energy management, and environmental monitoring; (6) supporting research, training, and education in HPCC technologies and applications; (7) implementing outreach activities including open meetings, workshops, and conferences; and (8) disseminating information about accomplishments, plans, and funding opportunities, plans, and funding opportunities using mechanisms such as Mosaic/WWW servers.
