High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS)
Program Manager: Dr. Charles Holland (TCTO)
Challenges:
Balanced scalable system architecture
- Processors, memory, interconnects, system software and programming environments
High effective bandwidth (on/off chip)
- Silicon, CPU, memory, network, and storage
System robustness or brittleness
- Hardware/software reliability (poor understanding of point failures)
- Fault recovery or restart
- Software bug tolerance
Performance monitoring, measurement and prediction
System "Design Point" tailorability
- Programming models
- Virtual machine instantiations
- Quality of Service
Measurement of productivity in a way that is applicable across the spectrum of DoD HPC applications
