Reportから一部引用
Recommendations (Page 7)
・"ASC should develop and frequently update a formal strategic plan."
・"ASC budgets should be sized to provide adequate funding for the
computer development and programming applications needed to meet
the srated goals of the nuclear weapon progaram."
・"The Task Force recommends aggressively pursuing the ASC program to
help assure theat HPC advances are available to the broad national
security community."
・"NNSA should seek the views of experts in cyber security before
expanding into some of the potential uses of NNSA classified machines."
・"The Task Force recommends including a significant level of research
and development funds in its pursuit the next generation of petascale
and then exascale level computing capability." ... "maintain U.S.
leadership in HPC."
