Supercomputing New Designs
Academic and industry leaders from Ohio pushed a high-performance computing bill called the Blue Collar Computing and Business Assistance Act of 2006, S. 3527, at a forum today on Capitol Hill.
The legislation, which was introduced last week, would provide up to $25-million a year for five years to establish five supercomputing centers across the country.
The centers would help small businesses and manufacturers use high-performance computing to expedite the design and testing of new products.
University computer scientists and researchers would help operate the centers, said David Barber, director of information technology program for the Ohio Board of Regents.
