Dr. Ben Parsons from the Department of Defense (DOD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) talks about how the program enables the DOD to solve its most critical mission challenges during a June 2, 2023 episode of the Power of ERDC podcast. Parsons is chief technology officer of the HPCMP, which is managed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) through its Information Technology Laboratory. Parsons talks about why supercomputing is important to the DOD research community (4:14), ERDC’s role in the HPCMP (6:18), and how much combined computing power the program provides to DOD researchers (8:43). He also discusses specific projects that have been enabled by the HPCMP (13:44, 16:30), how it improves DOD acquisition efforts (15:25), how the team ensures the program remains on the cutting edge as computer technology continuously evolves (13:03) and what lies ahead on the HPCMP’s horizon (22:25). The Power of ERDC podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at ERDC’s involvement in solving some of the nation’s toughest engineering challenges.
