High End Computing Revitalization Task Force

The High Computing Revitalization Task Force (HECRTF) was established in March 2003 to develop a plan for high-end computing for the Federal government. This plan will be focused at three specific areas of concern: (1) interagency research and development of high-end computing core technologies; (2) a federal high-end computing capacity and accessibility improvement plan; and (3) improvements to Federal procurement of high-end computing systems. This talk will summarize the background and status of this planning activity.
