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

Program Development Approach

• Major Issues Addressed As FAPOC
• Engaging TE Community
• Who, where, what
• Level of HPC expertise
• On-site performance and security
• Program development barriers
• TE 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 TE 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

4
Strategic Goals for IMT

• 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 TE
  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
