InfoMall is a programme lead by the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC) featuring a partnership of over twenty-five organisations and a plan for accelerating development of the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) software and systems industry. HPCC (or HPCN as it is known in Europe) is a critical technology which will have unprecedented impact on industry, education, society, and defense. Acceptance of HPCC by these real world sectors is held up by the extremely hard problem of HPCC software development. InfoMall employs a novel technology development strategy involving closely linked programmes in technology execution and certification, software development, marketing, education and training, economic development and small business support. InfoMall has excellent HPCC and other facility infrastructure. InfoMall partners have unrivaled expertise in all the areas critical to rapid development of the HPCC software industry. The process is constructed and explained by analogy to the full-service set of stores found in a shopping mall. InfoMall is a concept which can create 15,000 jobs in New York State alone, and be scaled in future years to create an order of magnitude more jobs nationally.
