THE HPCMP CREATE™-GV PROGRAM, SOFTWARE, DEVELOPMENT, AND APPLICATIONS

The High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments – Ground Vehicles (CREATE™-GV) Program is a software development effort to create government-owned scientific High Performance Computing (HPC) code for the next generation of mobility analysis tools. The HPCMP CREATE™-GV software consists of three main components: the Ground Vehicle Interface – a web-based interface for interacting with the HPCMP CREATE™-GV tools on the HPC; Mobility Analysis Tool (MAT) – computing tactical mobility performance of ground vehicles over broad areas of real-world terrain for mission-based performance metrics; and Mercury – a high-fidelity, multi-body physics analysis tool that runs a co-simulation of many components on the HPC, the results of which can then be fed into MAT or exported to trade space tools for further analysis.

In this paper, we provide an overview of the HPCMP CREATE™-GV program and present details about each of these components, the applications of the software to acquisition efforts, and verification and validation of the software and data involved.
