Summary:

The Department of Energy (DOE) spent about $826 million between 1994 and 1997 acquiring and operating supercomputers. The computers support various uses, and DOE's largest supercomputer effort -- the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative -- is a critical part of the agency's attempt to build the capability for "virtual testing" as a replacement for the actual testing of nuclear weapons. This testimony covers how effectively DOE has managed the use and acquisition of its supercomputers and the management of its strategic computing initiative.
