This project is part of the development of a Geosciences High Performance Computing Research Consortium as a successor to the high-performance computing and data center services currently provided by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It includes a three-day workshop, to be held in Fall, 2006, to seek geosciences community participation in planning and scoping the Consortium. The goal of the workshop is to develop a plan, supported by the geosciences research community, for the implementation of the vision described in the "Petascale Collaboratory for the Geosciences" report. Questions to be addressed include:- What is the "sweet-spot" for capability computing in the Geosciences?- What research opportunities are being missed in the current computing climate?- What is the best balance between capability and capacity for the Geosciences?- Is a geosciences capability computing center serving multiple disciplines desirable for the geosciences community?- If so, how can we make such a center work well for a broad range of users?- What governing model makes sense for the geosciences community?The anticipated long-term impact is a set of more robust high-performance computing and data center services aligned with the research and education needs of the geosciences.

该项目是地球科学高性能计算研究联盟发展的一部分，作为国家大气研究中心目前提供的高性能计算和数据中心服务的继承者。其中包括将于2006年秋季举行的为期三天的讲习班，以争取地球科学界参与联合会的规划和范围界定。讲习班的目标是在地球科学研究界的支持下制定一项计划，以落实“Petascale地球科学合作实验室”报告中所述的愿景。要解决的问题包括：-什么是“甜蜜点”的能力计算在地球科学？在当前的计算环境中，哪些研究机会正在被错过？什么是地球科学的能力和能力之间的最佳平衡？一个服务于多个学科的地球科学能力计算中心对地球科学界来说是可取的吗？如果是这样，我们如何使这样一个中心为广泛的用户工作？什么样的管理模式对地球科学界有意义？预期的长期影响是一套更强大的高性能计算和数据中心服务，与地球科学的研究和教育需求保持一致。
