That would allow an unprecedented amount of computing power \nto be installed on aircraft, carried onto the battlefield for commanders\n -- and made available to researchers everywhere.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPutting this computing power into a small and energy-efficient \npackage, and making it reliable and easier to program, are among the \ngoals of the new DARPA Ubiquitous High Performance Computing (UHPC) \ninitiative.  Georgia Tech researchers from three different units are \nsupporting key components of this $100 million challenge, which will \nrequire development of revolutionary approaches not bound by existing \ncomputing paradigms.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf UHPC meets its ambitious eight-year goals, the new approaches and \ntechnologies it develops could redefine the way that computing systems \nare envisioned, designed and used.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022The opportunity we have is to go far beyond the current product \nroadmaps,\u0022 said David Bader, a professor in Georgia Tech\u0027s School of \nComputational Science and Engineering.  \u0022We really have the opportunity \nto change the industry and to design our applications with new computing\n architectures.  For the first time in the history of computing, we will\n be able to work with a clean slate.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo attain the program\u0027s ambitious goals, DARPA funded four groups -- \nled by NVIDIA Corp., Intel Corp., the Massachusetts Institute of \nTechnology and Sandia National Laboratories -- to develop UHPC \nprototypes.  A fifth group, led by the Georgia Tech Research Institute \n(GTRI), will develop applications, benchmarking and metrics that will be\n used to drive UHPC system design considerations and support performance\n analysis of the developing system designs.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Our team is developing a set of five difficult problems of a size \nand scope that the machines they are talking about should be able to \naccomplish,\u0022 said Dan Campbell, a GTRI principal research engineer who \nis co-principal investigator of the benchmarking initiative.  \u0022Our \nchallenge is picking the right problems and specifying them at the right\n level of abstraction to allow innovation and properly represent what \nthe DoD will need in 2018.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe five problems highlight the unique computing needs of the U.S. military:\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u2022 Analysis of the vast streams of data originating with widespread \nsensor systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and new generations of radar \nsystems.

That will allow more errors due to the physics of \nthe devices, and all kinds of things will have to be done to address \nthat.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAnd the entire machine will have to fit into a 24-inch wide, 78-inch high and 40-inch deep cabinet.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBut the physical implementation of the machines is just one part of \nthe challenge, Bader noted.  How people will work with them poses a \nperhaps more difficult challenge because it will require thinking about \ncomputers in a new way.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Over the past 20 or 30 years, we\u0027ve taken a single computing design \nand kept tweaking it through advances like miniaturizing parts,\u0022 he \nsaid.  \u0022But we really haven\u0027t changed the global nature of how the \nmachine works. To meet DARPA\u0027s power efficiency goals, we really will \nneed to change the way we program the machine.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThat also affects the humans who interact with these highly-parallel \nmachines, which could have as many as a half-million separate threads \noperating at the same time.  DARPA\u0027s initial goal is to build machines \ncapable of petaflop speed -- a trillion operations per second -- which \ncould lead into the next generation of exascale computers a thousand \ntimes more capable.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022We will need to find new ways of thinking about computers that will \nmake it feasible for humans to comprehend what is going on inside,\u0022 \nCampbell said. \u0022It\u0027s a huge programming challenge.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo encourage collaboration in solving these complex problems, DARPA \nhas embraced the idea of open innovation.
