Support expressed in Congress for U.S. high‐performance computing
Randy Showstack · Eos · 2004
Advocates for a stronger U.S. position in high‐performance computing—which could help with a number of grand challenges in the Earth sciences and other disciplines—hope that legislation recently introduced in the House of Representatives will help to revitalize U.S. efforts. The High‐Performance Computing Revitalization Act of 2004 would amend the earlier High Performance Computing Act of 1991 (Public Law 102‐194), which is partially credited with helping to strengthen U.S. capabilities in this area. The bill has the support of the Bush administration.
