CRA was asked to organize a Workshop on the Road Map for the Revitalization of High End Computing. The Workshop sponsor was the National Coordination Office for Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD).

The goals of the Workshop were to:

• bring together academic, industry, and government researchers to address issues associated with revitalization of high-end computing (HEC);
• develop and publish concepts for research, development, and engineering needed for HEC revitalization; and
• generate understanding and interest about high end computing revitalization in the computer science, computational science, and engineering communities

The NCO's Web site, www.nitrd.gov, contains information about the Federal High End Computing Revitalization Task Force (HECRTF), as well as the original invitation to submit white papers that could help shape the future development and application of high-end computing technologies in the U.S. Persons who submitted white papers were eligible to be invited to this Workshop.
