CSC has received four task orders to support the Department of Defense’s (DoD) ‘High Performance Computing Modernization Program’, providing technical operations as well as user support and outreach services at two DoD sites. The combined value of the task orders is more than US $82 million if all options are exercised over six years. The task orders were awarded by the General Services Administration under the Federal Technology Service’s Millennia contract.
CSC’s High Performance Computing (HPC) Center of Excellence, which has supported the DoD sites since 1996, will perform the work under two task orders at each site: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineers Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Miss., and the U.S. Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center in Dayton, Ohio. CSC will support the centers’ high-performance capabilities with services ranging from site preparation, system administration, and equipment installation and integration to providing help desks, managing user information and providing scientific visualization support.
“Few companies can provide the scope of services that CSC can in such a technically demanding and leading-edge environment,” said Bob Scudamore, vice president of CSC’s HPC Center of Excellence. “We look forward to continuing our support of these sites.”
