Academic leaders weigh in on computational science

In an HPC Wire article from April 22nd, Dan Reed, Jack Dongarra, and Ken Kennedy question the direction of the government’s investment strategy for high performance computing and computational science. Noting that there are as many opportunities as ever to utilize high-end computing, the three HPC leaders call for better cohesion and greater vision by the federal agencies charged with investing the nation’s computational research dollars:

High-end computing and cyberinfrastructure are both part of a broad and empowering vision of computing-enabled science; it is not an “either or” situation. Both are central, both are critical, and neither can be sacrificed for the other.
