4: High End Computing (HEC)
HEC Infrastructure and Applications (I&A) agencies coordinate Federal activities to provide advanced computing systems, applications
software, data management, and HEC R&D infrastructure to meet agency mission needs and to keep the United States at the forefront
of 21st century science, engineering, and technology.
Other Information:
HEC capabilities enable researchers in academia, Federal laboratories, and industry to model and simulate complex processes
in biology, chemistry, climate and weather, environmental sciences, materials science, nanoscale science and technology, physics,
and other areas to address Federal agency mission needs.HEC R&D agencies conduct and coordinate hardware and software R&D
to enable the effective use of high-end systems to meet Federal agency mission needs, to address many of society’s most challenging
problems, and to strengthen the Nation’s leadership in science, engineering, and technology. Research areas of interest include
hardware (e.g., microarchitecture, memory subsystems, interconnect, packaging, I/O, and storage), software (e.g., operating
systems, languages and compilers, development environments, algorithms), and systems technology (e.g., system architecture,
programming models).
