High Performance Computing & Communications Office (HPCC) Mission

The High Performance Computing and Communications Office (HPCC) is responsible for NOAA-level management, coordination, and integration of NOAA's Information Technology Research and Development and the High Performance Computing and Communications Program and other assigned programs that are interagency and/or international in scope. The Office develops, implements, and evaluates the NOAA HPCC Program and Information Technology Research Program. It provides support to NOAA's senior managers as they oversee implementation of individual program elements and projects of the NOAA HPCC Program. The Office coordinates NOAA-level program planning and budget formulation and oversees NOAA-wide Program execution. It provides NOAA's focus for coordinating with external organizations and programs impacting the HPCC Program, including the Committee on Technology of the National Science and Technology Council, and its Interagency Working Group on Information Technology Research and Development (IT R&D), which coordinates the Federal IT R&D program and the Federal HPCC Program.
