Cascade focuses on three key areas:
- High System Performance
- Architectural innovation for efficient use of high-bandwidth connectivity
- System scalability and configurability to match user needs
- Programming Productivity and Portability
- Reduced cost and time-to-solution through flexible programming models with strong compiler and runtime support
- Computational efficiency on a wide spectrum of applications
- System Robustness
- Resource virtualization and reconfiguration
- Highly reliable system services
The Cascade program receives funding under the High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The HPCS Program was formed to foster development of economically viable high-productivity computing systems for both the national security and industrial user communities by the end of this decade.
