Last week I had the pleasure of attending the spring 2024 conference of the Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation (CASC) in Washington, DC. I was especially treated to attend (in-person) the Cyberinfrastructure Leadership Academy (CILA) 2024 the day before CASC. [1]
It’s an opportunity to learn about the state of research computing at academic institutions at the U.S. today. Along with SC, it’s also a chance to see in-person a lot of people I mostly encounter over email or as boxes in Zoom meetings.
One memorable event was a talk by “HPC Dan” Reed, incorporating information from this blog post and a lot more (in 2024, it wouldn’t do to ignore LLM’s). This preceded the release of the Indicators report by the National Science Board, which he presented at the White House on the 13th.
