Federal Plan for High-End Computing : Report of the High-End Computing Revitalization Task Force (Hecrtf)

While the importance of high-end computing (HEC) has grown, the flow of R&D needed to maintain supporting technologies, & the human capital required to sustain them, have not matched this expansion. The current dependence largely on clusters of commercial-off-the-shelf processors & industry's focus on the hardware & software needs of bus. applications & smaller scale scientific & engineer. problems is likely to sustain an existing gap between the Nation's projected HEC needs & capabilities. This report provides a roadmap for the revitalization of HEC to develop: an interagency R&D roadmap for HEC core technol., a fed. HEC capacity & accessibility improvement plan, & recommend. relating to fed. procurement of HEC systems.
