Program Development Approach

• Major Issues Addressed As NCSA Core Lead– Classified contract– Updating UI financial system after late start

date– Performance and Hiring as impacted by IL

State budget crisis

13-17 May 2002 Contract Year 1 Review 3

Program Development Approach

• Major Issues Addressed As FAPOC– Engaging T&E Community

• Who, where, what• Level of HPC expertise

– On-site performance and security– Program development barriers

• T&E Community has limited HPC expertise• Sense that HPC/PET is trying to “tell them how to do their job”• In general, 50% of the funding for a T&E center is yearly

customer funds, and as a result, their time horizon is short (3 to 6 months)

– Projects are of limited interest given the relatively long development time

13-17 May 2002 Contract Year 1 Review 4

• Top priorities: Application of HPC software tools and techniques with

live tests and hardware-in-the-loop simulations for test and evaluation.

Tools for collecting, organizing, and combining diverse information sets to optimally guide T&E decision making.

• Concentrate on: High-fidelity component and process models Real-time model execution Integration of information from disparate sources Test data repositories Optimal Test Strategy Planning Building IMT Communities of practice Training in new software tools & methodologies (Core)
