- Description
- Omnipresent High Performance Computing (OHPC) Broad Agency Announcement Correction. CORRECTED FULL ANNOUNCEMENT IS ATTACHED All current DoD sensors, platforms, and missions heavily depend on computer systems - from in-field distributed sensors to complex weapons system simulations. To meet the relentlessly increasing demands for greater performance, higher energy efficiency, ease of programmability, system dependability, and security, revolutionary new research, development, and design will be essential to enable new generations of advanced DoD computing system capabilities and new classes of computer applications. Current evolutionary approaches to progress in computer designs are inadequate. To pursue these capabilities, DARPA is releasing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Omnipresent High Performance Computing (OHPC) program. Novel proposals for research and development in technical areas and for approaches that will dramatically advance the performance and capabilities of future computing systems and enable ExtremeScale computing are sought. Evolutionary research will not be selectable. This solicitation is intended to provide novel technologies and approaches that provide significant advances for the system design activities being performed under the DARPA Ubiquitous High Performance Computing (UHPC) program. For additional background information, definitions, UHPC vision and goals, and specifically the technical challenges of designing and building UHPC systems see DARPA-BAA-10-37 (http://www.darpa.mil/tcto/solicitations.html). The material found under the UHPC solicitation, DARPA-BAA-10-37, will not be repeated in the OHPC solicitation. The OHPC program will research, develop and document novel and revolutionary technologies and designs critical to the development of highly efficient, highly programmable and dependable UHPC systems. The anticipated time frame for prototype UHPC systems is 2018. The goals of the OHPC program include supplementing the technologies being developed in the UHPC program. The purpose of this effort is to accelerate the performance and capabilities of UHPC program systems through selected, critical research and development activities that have high impact on ExtremeScale computing and specifically UHPC program systems, up to but not necessarily including whole-system prototype development. Instead, OHPC activities may focus on technology and science subareas and subproblems that are critical to the overall UHPC program goals. The goals and vision of UHPC are set forth in DARPA-BAA-10-37. The co-design of the hardware and software is an important aspect of both the OHPC and UHPC programs. There will be a single, 3-year phase for the OHPC Program. The technologies developed under the OHPC program should make a significant contribution to ExtremeScale systems, cover all aspects of the system design, and are scalable to UHPC or ExaScale computing (as defined in the UHPC solicitation, DARPA-BAA-10-37). It is anticipated that OHPC designs and technologies will be integrated into one or more UHPC systems during the course of the OHPC program. CORRECTED FULL ANNOUNCEMENT IS ATTACHED
