Overview[]

The High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) was initiated in 1992 by the Department of Defense (DoD) in response to congressional direction to modernize the DoD laboratories' high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities. The HPCMP was assembled out of a collection of small high-performance computing departments, each with a rich history of supercomputing experience that had independently evolved within the Army, Air Force, and Navy laboratories and test centers.

The HPCMP supports DoD objectives through research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E). Scientists and engineers that focus on science and technology (S&T) to solve complex defense challenges benefit from HPC innovation.
