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，作为目前由国家大气研究中心提供的高性能计算和数据中心服务的继承者。它包括一个将于2006年秋季举行的为期三天的研讨会，以寻求地球科学界参与该联盟的规划和范围确定。研讨会的目标是在地球科学研究界的支持下制定一项计划，以实现“Petascale地球科学合作实验室”报告中描述的愿景。需要解决的问题包括：-地球科学中能力计算的“最佳点”是什么？-在当前的计算环境下，错失了哪些研究机会？-地球科学的能力和能力之间的最佳平衡是什么？-地球科学界是否需要一个服务于多学科的地球科学能力计算中心？-如果是这样，我们如何使这样一个中心为广泛的用户工作？什么治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相一致。
