HPC Division translates evolving HPC technologies into the assets deployed in our data centers.  This unprecedented-scale computing capability provides solutions to complex problems of strategic national interest.  Our activities span repeated lifetimes of supercomputing systems and infrastructure:

Defining Future Environments

• Communication and collaborations with industry and academia to follow and shape future supercomputing technology
• Consultative design and deployment of facility infrastructure supporting future supercomputing
• HPC-specific system software R&D
• Testbed explorations of new computing and infrastructure technologies
• Specifying and assisting in the procurement of small scale to large scale acquisitions
• Stewardship of programmatic resources via program and project management
• Integration of computing and supporting infrastructure technology into a fully operational supercomputing environment
