The ASCI Software Quality Engineering: Goals, Principles, and Guidelines (GP&G) is a Department of Energy (DOE) document that establishes practices for creating high-quality software for the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) program. Its goals are to ensure software reliability, safety, performance, and renewal for the U.S. nuclear stockpile. The principles emphasize integrating quality throughout the software lifecycle, while the guidelines detail specific practices for software development and management to meet these goals.
