Technical Advisory Panel

The DICE Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) is an advisory board to Avetec for technology direction and evaluation in the DICE program. The TAP is chartered to review and advise the DICE program on methodologies, approaches and technology trends. They also assist primarily in the identification of community-wide HPC needs where the DICE program would enhance understanding.  The panel operates under delegated authority from Avetec specifically for the purpose of providing technical input for projects and the baseline infrastructure that comprises DICE. This panel will also review test plans and reported findings as requested by Avetec.

The TAP is composed of a chairperson and representatives from government agencies, industry and academic institutions. The TAP members include representatives from each site hosting a DICE distributed node. Additional members are senior technical representatives of HPC data centers (federal, state, industry and academia), technology researchers, HPC end users, and/or members of HPC or storage technology leadership forums.

The TAP decisions represent a consensus and embody an accord of what advances the DICE program forward for the greater good of all the collaborators.

Partner Relationships, Collaborations & Alliances

Evaluating & Accelerating Technical Innovations Together

DICE has formed innovative, strategic alliances, collaborations and partner relationship agreements with industry-leading organizations from industry, government agencies, vendors and academia.  Through these alliances and relationships, we have expanded our services, depth of knowledge, expertise, equipment and capabilities – a win-win for the customers we serve.  These relationships enable us to offer a more comprehensive service that include in-depth research and surveys, supported by hands-on, independent testing and evaluations using real test sites with representative equipment conducted by industry experts. It is the mission of the DICE program to advance quality solutions to the ever-growing challenges facing the high performance computing (HPC) and information technology (IT) communities.
