The High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) initiative managed by DARPA is akin to the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) undertaken by the US Department of Energy to drive supercomputing technology from the hundreds of gigaflops to the hundreds of teraflops level in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
IBM and Lawrence Livermore have a long history of working together on supercomputing projects, most significantly on the NNSA's Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) Program.
An objective of the Stewardship Science Academic Alliances Program is to complement the current NNSA/DP Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) Academic Strategic Alliances Program (ASAP) by emphasizing primarily experimental research in the following physical sciences areas: A.
NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (formerly Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative or "ASCI") is tasked with developing the computing infrastructure necessary to carry out NNSA's role of nuclear stockpile stewardship.
Etnus TotalView parallel debugger and analyzer will be used in 30 TeraOPS system to be built by Compaq for the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) program Etnus, the leading supplier of parallel application debuggers for the high performance computing community, has announced that the TotalView debugger/analyzer was selected for use in the U.
Stockpile Stewardship Contributions The budget document pointed out that the ICF contributes to the goals of the Weapons Stockpile Stewardship program by: * Providing facilities and capabilities needed to study many of the basic and applied science issues underlying stockpile stewardship; * Conducting experiments to validate and verify the advanced weapons simulation codes being developed by the core nuclear weapons program and the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) to assess the reliability and effects of aging on weapons in the stockpile; * Providing calculational techniques to model high energy density phenomena in new simulation codes; and * Helping to retain the high quality of scientific and technical expertise necessary for national security.
Blue Pacific is a 4,096 PowerPC processor RS/6000 SP machine, and part of the US Department of Energy-funded ASCI Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative.
