FY 16-17: Agency Priority Goal

High Performance Computing

Priority Goal

High Performance Computing

High Performance Computing:  Contributes to implementation of the President’s Executive Order establishing the National Strategic Computing Initiative including accelerating delivery of a capable exascale computing system that integrates hardware and software capability to deliver approximately 100 times the performance of current 10 petaflop systems across a range of applications representing government needs, and establishes a viable path forward for future High Performance Computing systems even after the limits of current semiconductor technologies are reached.

  • By Q2 FY 2016, establish a multiyear exascale research program plan in support of DOE’s contribution to the President’s high performance computing initiative
  • By the end of FY 2017, identify software technology investments needed to accelerate delivery of a capable exascale system
  • By Q1 FY2017 establish a plan for DOE’s contribution to research of new progressive technologies that perform beyond Moore’s Law
