Vanguard
The Vanguard project is expanding the high-performance computing ecosystem by evaluting and accelerating the development of emerging technologies in order to increase their viability for future large-scale production platforms. The goal of the project is to reduce the risk in deploying unproven technologies by identifying gaps in the hardware and software ecosystem and making focused investments to address them. The approach is to make early investments that identify the essential capabilities needed to move technologies from small-scale testbed to large-scale production use.
