... The question then arises: Can materials science develop innovative processes to address the fi~ndamental problems associated with making device features so small that they approach atomic scale. Simulation tools and modeling can eliminate the "cut-andtry" approach to prototyp~ng and fabrication, in that modeling may be used to overcome existing gaps In knowledge of materials science and processing and be applied to materials behavior at atomic scale.

... is essential to enhance computational materials science simulation capabilities transmitted through the Internet. The goals of the HPC program are to acquire the best of commercially available HPC capabilities; develop appropriate software tools and programming environments; expand and train the DOD HPC user base; link users and computer sites via high speed networks; arid exploit knowledge, algorithms, and software tools of the national HPC infiastructure.
