High performance computing (HPC) has historically played a major role in the ability of the United States to develop and deploy superior weapons, warfighting capabilities, and mission support systems. Under the auspices of the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDR & E), the Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) is the focused modernization effort within the DoD to acquire, manage, and sustain modern HPC resources in support of defense science and technology, and developmental test and evaluation. The HPCMP is rapidly evolving past its initial program development and procurement start up phase and is increasing focus on application of HPC technology and resources to priority defense requirements. This plan describes some of the accomplishments achieved by the program in Fiscal Year (FY) 1997 and outlines the major strategies and milestones we expect to achieve over the next two years. The overriding goal of the program is to exploit HPC technology for military advantage across battlespace. The strategy to achieve this goal is to acquire and sustain world class high performance computing and network capabilities for use by defense scientists and engineers.

The past 50 years have witnessed a revolution in computing and related communications technologies. The contributions of industry and university researchers to this revolution are manifest; less widely recognized is the major role the federal government played in launching the computing revolution and sustaining its momentum. Funding a Revolution examines the history of computing since World War II to elucidate the federal government's role in funding computing research, supporting the education of computer scientists and engineers, and equipping university research labs. It reviews the economic rationale for government support of research, characterizes federal support for computing research, and summarizes key historical advances in which government-sponsored research played an important role. Funding a Revolution contains a series of case studies in relational databases, the Internet, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality that demonstrate the complex interactions among government, universities, and industry that have driven the field. It offers a series of lessons that identify factors contributing to the success of the nation's computing enterprise and the government's role within it.
