High Productivity Computing Systems
- High Productivity Computing Systems
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 is part of the project. An HPCS goal is to create a multi petaflop systems.
