These agencies said that they could not use the resources mainly because (1) NTF's supercomputers are older machines whose performance and costs cannot match those of more advanced computers available from other sources and (2) some agencies have not yet developed applications requiring supercomputer capabilities or lack funding to support such activities. In addition, future support for the hardware and the software at NTF is uncertain, making any investment by an outside user risky. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-95-28/html/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-95-28.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-95-28/pdf/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-95-28.pdf GAO/AIMD-95-28 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-95-28 Letter Report GAO/AIMD-95-28; National Test Facility: Civilian Agency Use of Supercomputers Not Feasible; Supercomputers Computer modeling Command/control/communications/computer systems Interagency relations Systems development life cycle Information resources management Capacity management Information systems Cray 2 Supercomputer Cray Y-MP C90 Supercomputer IBM RS/6000 590 Supercomputer Silicon Graphics TFP Supercomputer
