2. The Federal High Performance Computing Program The Federal High Performance Computing Program is an interagency effort led by the Office of Science and Technology Policy in response to a report issued by the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology (FCCSET, usually referred to as "Fixit")

Essential understanding of overlay formation, trapped structural defects, and the effect of lattice mismatch on properties is needed. Currently, it is possible to simulate electronic properties for simple regular systems; however, materials with defects and mixed atomic constituents are beyond present capabilities.
