Coming up on Thursday

I agree with him …

Today, as chair of the National Science Board (NSB), I joined the NSF Director and the OSTP Director at the White House as the NSB released its biennial assessment of the state of U.S. Science and Engineering.

A reminder that this is tomorrow (Wednesday). I will be introducing the indicators report, along with the NSF and OSTP Directors. Follow the release at the link below and read the 2024 report, starting tomorrow, at nsf.gov/nsb/sei

I'm looking forward to introducing this and sharing some of the data next week.

Mark your calendars for March 13 at 10:30 a.m. ET! Speakers from White House Office of Science & Technology Policy National Science Board and @NSF @NCSESGov will be unveiling the 2024 Science and Engineering Indicators report. The event will be livestreamed here: youtube.com/live/wgCjW0Scl…

The even deeper question is whether the research paper itself, whose structure was derived from printing press technology and physical distribution is the best mechanism to disseminate research ideas. The length constraints already relegate methods and data to ancillary websites

Fourteen years ago, I announced the initial Microsoft/NSF cloud partnership. It was about changing how we think about software and services for scientific computing. The journey continues ...

One of many ways the NSB seeks to address the national shortage of STEM workers

I’d add that one also has to look at economics as well. This is the science advances per unit cost question that is the core of science policy - the mix of small and big science investments. The answers change as science evolves

As a lifelong HPC guy, I share a bit of Glenn's skepticism. The critical questions and, even more importantly, their answers matter most. I fear we too often substitute {super}computing for thinking deeply and critically.

We have lost another of the field’s early giants

Every child is born a scientist, curious about the world, and anxious to learn its secrets. Each deserves a ticket to ride on the magic bus, one bound for the future of their dreams. hpcdan.org/reeds_ruminati…

Glad to see Jim highlighting the Basic Research Needs (BRN) report, which calls for end-to-end co-design

I'm looking forward to moderating the keynote by Rosa and John, building on my Reinventing HPC keynote from last year

I have kicked off the meeting. There are big issues to discuss today and tomorrow

About the same time, we built a Sony PlayStation2 Linux cluster at NCSA, not because we thought it would be a useful machine, but to demonstrate the phenomenal price-performance of GPU accelerators: nytimes.com/2003/05/26/bus…

Nothing like lowering expectations right out of the gate ...

Mathematical honesty :-)

Quite right. When I first went to Microsoft, I realized -- looking at the size of cloud data centers -- that I was just an HPC fast iron guy, not a truly big iron guy. Big AI is changing even that aspect of HPC
