The Future of High-End Computing: Standing on One Another's Feet?

Abstract

Panel Discussion Questions1. What are the big disciplinary and interdisciplinary applications of the 21 st century? 2. What are the big challenges in building and using trans-terascale computing systems? 3. How do we develop software and applications for systems containing thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of processors? 4. How can we encourage long-term investment in HEC research (hardware, architecture, software and applications)? 5. How well have funding agency investments in computational science kept up with changes in the underlying computing environments and the ways in which research is conducted? 6. Are we pursuing the appropriate balance of short term, low risk research and longer term, higher risk research? Panelists
