As we enter supercomputing’s exascale era, global HPC leadership is “up for grabs,” according to the ITIF’s Stephen Ezell, and in several ways the U.S. has relinquished leadership in the development of “feeder streams” that will supply the country’s supercomputing industry in future decades. To address this, Ezell outlines several recommended policies and initiatives the U.S. should take in the face of increasing global HPC competition.

In this video, ITIF hosts a hearing on the The Vital Importance of High-Performance Computing to U.S. Competitiveness and National Security. Their recently published report urges U.S. policymakers to take decisive steps to ensure the United States continues to be a world leader in high-performance computing.
Report: US At Risk of Falling Behind in Supercomputing
Today the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) published a new report that urges U.S. policymakers to take decisive steps to ensure the United States continues to be a world leader in high-performance computing. “While America is still the world leader, other nations are gaining on us, so the U.S. cannot afford to rest on its laurels. It is important for policymakers to build on efforts the Obama administration has undertaken to ensure the U.S. does not get out paced.”
