- Description
- FLENUMMETOCCEN has used Platform's software for several years, and has found it to be both robust and reliable in allowing very large NWP jobs to be run on multiple nodes simultaneously. Platform MPI is both IA and DoN approved, and listed in DADMS and EAF for use at FLENUMMETOCCEN. FLENUMMETOCCEN does not have the resources to maintain two different versions of the same software; in fact, the Navy FAM routinely denies requests to have multiple pieces of software that perform the same function. Finally, all of the existing components of the A2 supercomputer suite use this software; a heterogeneous environment is less likely to met the rigorous mission up-time and availability requirements. While the source of this software is neither specified nor required, this Brand Name Justification makes explicit the requirement that same type of software currently installed (Platform MPI) must be the software that is bought.
