Last Friday, almost exactly one year after President Obama’s Executive Order establishing the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI), the Office of Science and Technology Policy held a workshop in Washington D.C. ostensibly to celebrate NSCI accomplishments so far – and there are many. Just as important, the meeting sought to (re)energize NSCI’s diverse stakeholders, many of whom were early enthusiastic supporters but have become wary because of a perceived lack of action to implement NSCI. The workshop was an invitation-only event held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. It drew about 85 attendees from industry, academia, and government. The meeting also coincided with release of the new NSCI Strategic Plan, presumably the renamed “implementation plan” mandated in the initial executive order.
