The Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) established DoD HPCMP Dedicated Support Partition (DSP) Projects to support large application software development projects and other types of computational work that need dedicated processors for a period of time within the Fiscal Year to accomplish work that could not otherwise be done in a shared resource environment. A DSP should be proposed exclusively when the computational work requires a substantial length of dedicated time on HPCMP computational resources and cannot be serviced through any of the normal service delivery modes, including batch processing, interactive processing, or the advance reservation service. Upon satisfying this crucial requirement, a DSP proposal can be submitted by any project leader with an active HPCMP computational project by following the process outline in the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) Dedicated Support Partition (DSP) Proposal Process (DoD PKI Required).
