As a designated Area of Operation (AO) with reporting responsibilities directly to the Joint Force Headquarters-DoD Information Networks (JFHQ-DODIN), the HPCMP employs Friendly Forces to conduct DODIN Ops and DCO-IDM functions across the DREN and SDREN cyber terrain. From an authorized Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSSP) to formal DODIN boundary assessments of public-facing systems and data, the HPCMP maintains Defensive Cyberspace Forces (DCF) to ensure high-speed, reliable, and secure connectivity for the RDT&E and AE communities.
HPCMP Security is responsible for the integration, synchronization, and de-confliction of cybersecurity activities across the DREN and SDREN cyber terrain. In close coordination with applicable AO Commander and Director's DCFs, the Security team enables timely information sharing of "Tier 1" Order countermeasures implementation and cyber incident/event data to/from Service Cyber Components, Agencies, and Field Activities (SCC/A/FAs) with a presence on the DREN and SDREN. With visibility across DODIN enterprise RDT&E networks, the HPCMP DCO functions are imperative in achieving shared situational awareness amongst SCC/A/AFs on the DREN, minimizing "seams" between AO boundaries, and providing the requisite visibility to the JFHQ-DODIN.
As an authorized DoD CSSP since 2006, the HPCMP delivers full-spectrum cybersecurity services to effectively protect and defend Program assets, as well as DREN- and SDREN-connected sites aligned to the HPCMP for CSSP coverage. The HPCMP employs cybersecurity capabilities strategically located across the enterprise, and purpose-built for the DREN and SDREN cyber terrain.

As cyber threats continue to evolve and advance, so do the DoD HPCMP's cybersecurity core functions and activities. In its mission to apply security intelligently and promote a secure, resilient, and productive environment for the RDT&E and AE communities the Security team performs defensive cyberspace operations (DCO) and cybersecurity program management (CSPM) functions to a wide variety of stakeholders.

The Data Analysis and Assessment Center (DAAC), initiated by the Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), serves the needs of DoD HPCMP scientists to analyze an ever increasing volume and complexity of data. The DAAC’s mission is to put visualization and analysis tools and services into the hands of every user. Visit https://daac.hpc.mil/ for more information.
The Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) element of the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) represents a portfolio of investments for development, deployment, and maintenance of software in response to critical capability requirements of the DoD. These HPCMP CREATE™ software applications enable physics-based virtual prototyping and testing analysis for major Defense weapons programs.
The CREATE portfolio was established by the DoD HPCMP to meet the challenge of significantly reducing acquisition time, risk, and cost. Increase weapon system agility, flexibility, and performance.
Visit the CREATE website for more information.
CREATE's Purpose
The HPCMP CREATE™ program is designed to improve the DoD acquisition process by developing and deploying five sets of advanced computational engineering design tools for acquisition programs:
- CREATE-AV: Military aircraft design
- CREATE-FT: Meshing and geometry tool
- CREATE-GV: Ground vehicle design
- CREATE-RF: Radio frequency antenna design and integration with platforms
- CREATE-SH: Military ship design
CREATE also offers an educational software suite, called Genesis, for undergraduate and graduate student application of computational fluid dynamics learned in the classroom.
The High Performance Computing Modernization Program's (HPCMP) User Productivity Enhancement and Training (PET) program gives users access to computational experts with experience spanning a wide variety of HPC technical areas. The PET Team is available to help HPC users become more productive using HPCMP resources with the goal of expediting milestones and reducing overall costs related to technological development to DoD users.
In addition to internal expertise, the PET Team also provides virtual training on effective usage of software, hardware, networking, data transfer, data storage, and visualization of data. PET facilitates and promotes the transfer of scientific and technical knowledge between HPCMP users and the broader computational communities, including DoD and other federal agencies. Help in specific Technical Thrust Areas (TTAs) provide a wide range of expertise including, but not limited to, new delivery methods, emerging hardware exploration, High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), debugging software, performance improvement with user codes, scalability issues, and porting of software to emerging hardware.
