CSC SELECTED TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

Effort Supports Emerging Technologies Addressing Data Intensive Computing

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 6 - Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it has been selected by Advanced Virtual Engine Test Cell Inc. (AVETEC) to serve as the management and integration contractor on the Data Intensive Computing Environment (DICE) effort. Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will provide management, integration, authentication systems, architecture, operations, project selection and communications outreach to assist the newly established DICE initiative.

DICE is a collaborative effort among several Ohio-based organizations, including CSC’s facilities in Dayton; the Department of Defense Aeronautical Systems Center Major Shared Resource Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base; the Department of Energy in collaboration with the Ohio Supercomputer Center, Springfield; as well as the NASA Goddard Research Center in Greenbelt, Md.

DICE is a shared environment where emerging technologies addressing data intensive computing can be evaluated. This new capability gives participating agencies, the vendor community and various researchers a collaborative environment to test selected emerging hardware/software data accessibility solutions and their applicability to real-world problems. Data intensive computing has been identified as essential for the future if the United States is to maintain its lead in the field of supercomputing through the most important top level measurement in high-end computing—time-to-solution.

"AVETEC is very pleased to have CSC as its DICE management and integration contractor, as they bring a level of expertise and experience that is unmatched in the management of high-end computing systems,” said Roger Panton, AVETEC DICE Program Manager. “We look forward to working with CSC in making significant contributions in reducing the time-to-solutions of data intensive problems."

“As computing power has increased, the ability to model more complex environments has improved, resulting in an exponential growth in data,” said Donna Klecka, program manager for CSC’s High Performance Computing Center of Excellence. “The increase in data generation has resulted in a change of focus from processing power to locating, viewing, manipulating, storing, moving, sharing, and interpreting data. AVETEC’s selection of CSC to lead the management and integration of this crucial effort illustrates their confidence in our experience in high-powered computing technologies and trends to deliver exceptional operational results for government, industry and academia.”
