Foil 46 Role of Government and DoD in HPCC Simulation Applications

From Programming Paradigms A CRPC/MCNC Workshop -- April 10-13 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox


The limited nearterm industrial use of HPCC implies that it is critical for Government and DoD to support and promote
DoD Simulation: Dual-Use Philosophy implies
  • Can use Commercial MPP hardware and basic systems software
  • Cannot rely on commercial market for application and sophisticated systems software and indeed hardware targeted at engineering and science simulation
Manufacturing Support can lead to future US Industry leadership in advanced HPCC based manufacturing environments 10-20 years from now
  • Industry cannot afford and even consider long term investment needed to integrate HPCC into manufacturing
  • Government should support long-term not short-term needs
  • Government must involve manufacturing Industry in its plans
  • Currently federal Initiatives are correctly involving Industry in more major fashion than before but focussing on short term needs
