The HPC Act of 1991 Brings 30 Years of Ground-Breaking Innovations to NITRD: SC21 Birds of a Feather Session & Invited Talk
Federal research and development (R&D) investment in emerging technologies is critical to promoting and protecting American innovation and international science and technology (S&T) leadership. The Networking and Information Technology R&D (NITRD) Program focuses its work on strategic R&D imperatives that lead to cutting-edge technologies and strengthens competitiveness. The NITRD Program was launched as the High-Performance Computing and Communication Program by the High-Performance Computing (HPC) Act of 1991 and reauthorized by Congress in the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act of 2017.
NATIONAL STRATEGIC COMPUTING RESERVE: A BLUEPRINT
This report outlines a Federal proposal for setting up a National Strategic Computing Reserve (NSCR) that can be called on in times of national crisis to rapidly activate a multisector advanced computing reserve infrastructure that can speed solutions, and it defines a blueprint for operational and coordination structures that will support an NSCR implementation…
