Advancing Cyberinfrastructure: NSF's Strategic Plan for High-Performance Computing (2006-2010)

The National Science Foundation's evolving cyberinfrastructure program aims to enable petascale science and engineering by creating a world-class high-performance computing (HPC) environment. Covering the 2006-2010 period, the strategic plan focuses on developing science-driven HPC systems, portable scalable applications, and inter-agency synergies. Key components include TeraGrid resources, high-speed networks, operational coordination, and education and training services related to cybersecurity and high-performance computing tools. This initiative is essential for 21st-century advancements in science and engineering.
