High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) is a DARPA project for developing a new generation of economically viable high productivity computing systems for national security and industry in the 2007-2010 timeframe.
The HPC Challenge (High-performance computers challenge) is part of the project. An HPCS goal is to create a multi petaflop systems.
Participants:
- Sun Microsystems (at phases I and II) with proximity communication and research projects of Silicon Photonics, Object-Based Storage, Fortress programming language, interval computing
- IBM with PERCS (Productive, Easy-to-use, Reliable Computer System) based on POWER7 processor, AIX operating system and General Parallel File System
- Cray with Chapel (programming language) and Cascade; Lustre filesystem
- HP (at phase I)
- SGI (at phase I)
- MITRE (at phase I)
- MIT Lincoln Laboratory (at phases I and II )
