Book Description
"This report evaluates the capabilities, challenges, and future options for the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC). Located in Kihei on the island of Maui, Hawaii, the MHPCC was established in 1993 as a center within the Department of Defense's (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP). As one of five HPCMP centers, MHPCC's primary mission is to provide computing cycles and other high performance computing capabilities to DoD's research, development, test and evaluation community. In the fall 2014, Congress asked DoD to consider ways to cut about $45 million from the HPCMP so future fiscal years could be supported entirely by the Army's programmed budget of $183 million. The findings within this report are designed to provide decisionmakers with important context about potential future missions and use cases for MHPCC as Congress, the Army, and the HPCMP work toward a solution for resolving the budget gap"--Publisher's description.

Pages : 155
Book Description
To explore what extended competition between the United States and China might entail out to 2050, the authors of this report identified and characterized China’s grand strategy, analyzed its component national strategies (diplomacy, economics, science and technology, and military affairs), and assessed how successful China might be at implementing these over the next three decades.

Tsunami Warning and Preparedness
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309209897
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Many coastal areas of the United States are at risk for tsunamis. After the catastrophic 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, legislation was passed to expand U.S. tsunami warning capabilities. Since then, the nation has made progress in several related areas on both the federal and state levels. At the federal level, NOAA has improved the ability to detect and forecast tsunamis by expanding the sensor network. Other federal and state activities to increase tsunami safety include: improvements to tsunami hazard and evacuation maps for many coastal communities; vulnerability assessments of some coastal populations in several states; and new efforts to increase public awareness of the hazard and how to respond. Tsunami Warning and Preparedness explores the advances made in tsunami detection and preparedness, and identifies the challenges that still remain. The book describes areas of research and development that would improve tsunami education, preparation, and detection, especially with tsunamis that arrive less than an hour after the triggering event. It asserts that seamless coordination between the two Tsunami Warning Centers and clear communications to local officials and the public could create a timely and effective response to coastal communities facing a pending tsuanami. According to Tsunami Warning and Preparedness, minimizing future losses to the nation from tsunamis requires persistent progress across the broad spectrum of efforts including: risk assessment, public education, government coordination, detection and forecasting, and warning-center operations. The book also suggests designing effective interagency exercises, using professional emergency-management standards to prepare communities, and prioritizing funding based on tsunami risk.
