Grand Challenge and National Challenge applications software that use
these computing and communications technologies to yield new knowledge
and capabilities never before possible. Some of the areas are:
| |
The environment--more accurate weather and severe storm forecasts;
fundamental understanding of the global climate; improved
modeling of air and water resulting in better environmental
quality and better management of natural resources; better
understanding of the effects of the environment on humans and
the effects of humans on the environment; and improved modeling
of energy resources
|
| |
Design and manufacturing--design of safer and more fuel-efficient
engines for cars, trucks, and airplanes; more energy-efficient
homes, offices, and factories; new products that are lighter,
stronger, safer, and cheaper to manufacture and use and that
have faster time to market
|
| |
Biomedicine and health care--improved understanding of the human
body and the effects of disease, injury, and surgical
intervention; better understanding of biological molecules;
a more effective and more efficient health care system;
improved clinical decision making; and more accurate, uniform,
and retrievable patient care data
|
| |
National security and national defense--improved civil and defense
infrastructure including U.S. transportation, energy, and
communications systems; and protection of critical information
systems against attack and in times of emergency
|
| |
Basic and applied research--better understanding of the physical
world and the universe through simulation of events too large,
too small, too fast, too slow, too dangerous, or too far away
to observe directly
|
| |
Education--better educational, vocational, and cultural materials
available to all citizens regardless of age, geographic location,
or ability
|
| |
Government--supported information, including scientific data from
HPCC agencies and Federal R&D program descriptions, is
freely and easily available to all citizens
