Administration Releases "Federal Plan for High End Computing" Report

Coinciding with yesterday's House Science Committee hearing on HPC (see entry below), the White House released the latest report of the High-End Computing Revitalization Task Force (HECRTF), spelling out the Administration's "forward looking plan" for high-end computing with three components:

  • an interagency R&D roadmap for high-end computing core technologies;
  • a federal high-end computing capacity and accessibility improvement plan; and,
  • recommendations relating to federal procurement of high-end computing systems.
The report is available as a pdf from the National Coordination Office for IT R&D.

In theory, this report will help shape the FY 2006 agency budgets, which are already being prepared. It's hot of the presses, so I haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but I'd be interested in your thoughts.
