Charter:

Establish the basic technologies that may provide the foundation for important advances in HEC capability, and determine the critical tasks required before the end of this decade to realize their potential. Such technologies include hardware devices or components and the basic software approaches and components needed to realize advanced HEC capabilities.

Guidelines and Questions:

• As input to HECRTF charge (1a), Please provide information about key technologies that must be advanced to strengthen the foundation for developing new generations of HEC systems. Include discussion of promising novel hardware and software technologies with potential pay-off for HEC
• Provide brief technology maturity roadmaps and investments, with discussion of costs to develop these technologies
• Discuss technology dependencies and risks (for example, does the roadmap depend on technologies yet to be developed?)
• Example Topics:
  • semiconductors, memory (e.g. MRAM), networks (e.g. optical), packaging/cooling, novel logic devices (e.g. RSFQ), alternative computing models
