High-fidelity, physics-based models and increasingly powerful machines provide critical input to design and test efforts. Designing, building, and sustaining integrated systems require more than just powerful, stand-alone modeling, however. Understanding and optimizing the performance of interconnected system-of-systems depend on linking physics-based models across computing systems. For example, simulating a regional, integrated air and missile defense system requires simultaneously running interdependent models in several HPC environments. From basic components to full-scale systems, high-performance computing at Lockheed Martin relies on powerful machines and powerful networks.
