USA Congress Funds Exascale Computing
Last week, House and Senate conferees agreed on full funding for the Department of Energy's effort to move toward exascale computing by providing $442 million for advanced scientific computing research, $126 million of which will go toward exascale computing, according to the president's budget proposal.
Congress is addressing those concerns by requiring the Department of Energy to submit a "joint, integrated" exascale strategy by February 10 of next year that will include target dates, interim milestones, minimum requirements for an exascale system, multi-year budget estimates, breakdowns of each office and lab involved in exascale research, and a more granular budget request for 2013.
