The US Government’s Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) recently released a Federal strategic plan for a whole-of-nation approach to pioneering the future national advanced computing ecosystem that targets key application drivers and strategic objectives considered essential to US leadership, economic competitiveness, and national security. The plan specifically called out three critical application areas:
-
- Extreme scale modeling and simulation
- Data-intensive application workflows
- End-to-end and real-time application workflows
The plan also arrays a number of key strategic objectives, including:
-
- The development of an advanced ecosystem that spans government, academia, non-profits and industry
- The support of foundational, applied and translational research
- The expansion of a diverse, capable and flexible workforce
The strategic plan delineates US government agency roles and responsibilities and describes essential operational and coordination structures necessary to support and implement its objectives.

2021 End Users Perspectives on Processors, Coprocessors/Accelerators, and HPC Budgets
Bob Sorensen, Melissa Riddle, Alex Norton, Earl Joseph
A recent survey revealed that HPC end users are looking to change the way they outfit their next HPCs, with many interested in exploring new types of processors, relying increasingly on GPUs and other accelerators to support computational gains, and preparing to increase their budgets to afford continued acquisition of more powerful HPCs. Insights into the critical factors driving these and other trends are detailed in the 2021 iteration of Hyperion Research's annual MCS end users' study, Processors, Coprocessors/Accelerators, and HPC budgets. Key Findings from the report are summarized in this document.
