Given the rapid changes taking place in scientific computing and the Federal High-Performance Computing and Communications multi- agency program, it is important to examine future directions for the NSF Supercomputer Centers Programs, its organizational structure and its role in the overall national effort in high performance computing. The Program Advisory Committee (PAC) of the Division of Advanced Scientific Computing will convene a workshop on this subject on March 7-8 1992, to provide NSF with broadly- based input from experts in the field, and to prepare position papers which will serve as the basis for the report. Topics for discussion at this workshop will be: 1) Access: The major function of the Centers Program is to provide access to state of the art computational facilities for the national research community. What facilities will be needed in the coming years. 2) Infrastructure development: What should be role of the Centers in developing human and computational infrastructure? 3) Catalysis and technology transfer: What should be the role of the Centers in relation to the high performance computer industry and the industrial user community? 4) Process: Are changes needed in the structure of the Centers Program? How should it be reviewed and renewed? What should be the relationship between the Centers Program and other high performance computing programs supported by the NSF, other federal agencies and state government?

考虑到科学计算和联邦高性能计算和通信多机构计划发生的快速变化，检查NSF超级计算机中心计划的未来方向，其组织结构及其在高性能计算整体国家努力中的作用是很重要的。高级科学计算部的计划咨询委员会（PAC）将于1992年3月7日至8日召开一个关于这个主题的研讨会，为国家科学基金会提供该领域专家的广泛投入，并准备立场文件，作为报告的基础。本次研讨会讨论的主题将是：1)访问：中心计划的主要功能是为国家研究界提供访问最先进的计算设施。未来几年需要哪些设施？2)基础设施发展：在发展人力和计算基础设施方面，中心应该扮演什么角色？催化和技术转移：这些中心在高性能计算机工业和工业用户社区中应该扮演什么角色？4)过程：中心项目的结构是否需要改变？它应该如何被审查和更新？中心计划和其他由NSF、其他联邦机构和州政府支持的高性能计算计划之间应该有什么关系？
