SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Executive Office of the President issued Executive Order (E.O.)
13702, titled, ``Creating a National Strategic Computing Initiative''
(80 FR 46177), and located at: <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-08-03/pdf/2015-19183.pdf">https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-08-03/pdf/2015-19183.pdf</a>, in August 2015 to maximize the benefits
of High-Performance Computing (HPC). The potential opportunities of
implementing HPC include improving economic competitiveness and
accelerating scientific research. The E.O. includes the following five
strategic objectives for supporting the implementation of HPC across
all Federal information systems and services:
(1) The United States must deploy and apply new HPC technologies
broadly for economic competitiveness and scientific discovery.
(2) The United States must foster public-private collaboration,
relying on the respective strengths of government, industry, and
academia to maximize the benefits of HPC.
(3) The United States must adopt a whole-of-government approach
that draws upon the strengths of and seeks cooperation among all
executive departments and agencies with significant expertise or
equities in HPC while also collaborating with industry and academia.
(4) The United States must develop a comprehensive technical and
scientific approach to transition HPC research on hardware, system
software, development tools, and applications efficiently into
development and, ultimately, operations.
More recently, agencies, such as the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), have continued developing guidance and
prioritizing HPC to combat growing cybersecurity threats. NIST
Publication SP 800-23, <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-223/draft">https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-223/draft</a>, released in February 2023 as a draft, discusses HPC
system threat analysis, security postures, challenges, and
recommendations. The typical information technology (IT) practitioner
knows very little about HPC. This summit will provide IT practitioners
of any skill level with practical knowledge and insight into HPC as
both an industry and a service, as well as how the Federal Government
can use HPC now and in the future.
Additional legislation, such as the bipartisan CHIPS Act of 2022,
provides additional funding for both HPC research and development, as
well as the standup of government programs on HPC at various agencies.
The combination of Executive Orders, policies, and legislation create a
comprehensive framework for the Federal Government to prioritize the
adoption of High-Performance Computing to advance key IT Modernization
efforts.
Format
The High-Performance Computing (HPC) Summit convenes leaders from
the Federal Government and industry to discuss their experiences and
exposures to HPC. If you have questions for the panelists, you can
email them to the GSA Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP) IT
Modernization Team at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#335750505c5a735440521d545c45"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="036760606c6a436470622d646c75">[email protected]</span></a> by Thursday, April 13, 2023.
