ISI Research Opportunities at Maui High Performance Computing Center ISI Research Opportunities at Maui High Performance Computing Center Developed for the Computational Sciences Division Information Sciences Institute Dan M. Davis (310) Proprietary, © Dan M. Davis 2011 by DMDC

 ISI has small but significant roles at MHPCC  Bob Lucas is the CTO  Dan Davis is in charge of DoD Outreach  MHPCC has a central function within AFRL  It is also the locus of many HPCMP programs  As CTO and Outreach, ISI can be gate-keeper  Will see any research amenable to ISI research  Can steer both end-users and colleagues to ISI  Positions also give entre to DoD commands  Will concentrate on creating new research

 MHPCC is an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) center  AFRL will pick UH/Lock-Mart or SAIC/ISI in Oct  Located in the Maui Research and Technology Park in Kihei  The MHPCC is a DSRC of the HPCMP  MHPCC operates varying configurations of computer clusters  Mana – 9,210 core Dell PowerEdge Cluster 93 rd in World  From Jaws - 5,120 core Dell Poweredge cluster  HOSC – 1,280 core Xeon Cluster

 Significant portion of ~$20M/yr op budget  Ten year stability  Four-year base contract  2 x Three-year extensions  Wide ranging research project entrées  Visibility in DoD HPC realm  More SCI capability/visibility  Beach-head on Hawai’i, major DoD area  Good relationship opportunity with Hawaiian Senators 17
