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. The formation of the NSCR suggested in this document is based on the U.S. experience in 2020 of initiating and operating the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium and a public Request for Information on Potential Concepts and Approaches for an NSCR.
