Each year, the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) surveys the Department of Defense’s (DoD's) most important high-priority, computationally-intensive projects to identify ones that require unique, dedicated high performance computing (HPC) resources in order to meet mission objectives and milestones. These are generally two- to three-year mission-critical projects that require a small onsite HPC system at a laboratory or test center.
Dedicated High Performance Computing Project Investments (DHPIs) are awarded to technically sound, mission-critical projects that cannot be performed at HPC centers due to special operational requirements (e.g., classification level above secret, real-time response, hardware-in-the-loop, embedded implementations, and/or emerging technologies).
All computational scientists and engineers in DoD research, development, and test and evaluation programs who are eligible to use HPCMP resources under the Program's current guidelines may submit a proposal through their Service or Agency.

In an effort to support large application software development projects and other types of computational work that might have a strong need for a significant dedicated partition on a high performance computing system, the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) introduced a new resource delivery mode, the Dedicated Support Partition (DSP), in the spring of FY 2011. A Dedicated Support Partition (DSP) supports a project in need of dedicated processors for a significant period of time to accomplish work that could not otherwise be done in a shared resource environment. A DSP should be proposed ONLY 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. If this crucial test is met, a DSP proposal may 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).
