The High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) community includes approximately 100 Service/Agency Approval Authorities (S/AAAs) that represent every organization served by the HPCMP. The role of the S/AAA is essential to providing computational resources to Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers within their organization(s). S/AAAs serve as the liaison between the Program and the user. They are the users’ primary point of contact for accounts and allocations on resources provided by the HPCMP. S/AAAs are responsible for:

• Allocating Service-/Agency-controlled CPU compute hours on HPCMP systems
• Providing day-to-day linkage with customer organizations, the HPCMP and other S/AAAs
• Ensuring Project Leaders and authorized users are performing work in support of the DoD
• Implementing requirements surveys, resource allocation, resource monitoring and resource reallocation
• Providing guidance to users on which HPC assets are appropriate for their projects
• Trading allocations with other S/AAAs
