ISI Positioning at MHPCC 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
Non-Exhaustive List of Research Opportunities ISI Can Pursue

Current MHPCC Research Thrusts Research Activities:
Large-Scale Data Management Terabyte Level Database Maritime and Airborne Cargo Tracking Analysis Decision Support Systems Modeling and Simulation Support
Computational Science Research: Parallel Software Optimization Software Integration Test-bed Engineering Virtual Training and Simulation Test-bed
Environment Subject Matter Research:
Scalable Computing Technology Image Processing Algorithms Information Fusion High Fidelity Radar Simulations Weather Forecasting Engineering Services Computational Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry Space Physics
Approach Strategy Use MHPCC as springboard for ISI research Leverage personal and professional
contacts Exploit MHPCC outreach efforts for ISI Contact major commands to muster
support Include visible ISI/USC presence at MHPCC Host MHPCC activities at ISI and at
conferences Encourage MHPCC authors to co-author
with ISI Investigate ISI/USC status (ReschProf?) for
key research PhDs at MHPCC

Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC)
Maui High Performance Computing Center
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
93rd in World From Jaws - 5,120 core Dell Poweredge
cluster HOSC – 1,280 core Xeon Cluster

ISI Benefits from Managing MHPCC
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
