World Class High Performance Computing Center
I venture that if you asked ten people who are in our industry and you will get ten different answers. The answers will have a number of common themes and use a lot of the same words, but there will also be suttle differences that may or may not have a lot to do with their current place of work.
I am interested in hearing others bloggers definition and thoughts on "World-Class" computing.

High-performance computing: Supercomputing everywhere

High End Computing comes to University of Arkansas
http://www.supercomputingonline.com/article.php?sid=14399
The article reads in part.... demonstrating its position as a national leader in high-performance computing, the University of Arkansas has received an $803,306 equipment grant from the National Science Foundation to purchase and assemble the university's second supercomputer. The new machine will be among the fastest supercomputers in all U.S. academic institutions.

Succession Planning
I would like to introduce a topic that all of us should be thinking about in the high performance computing industry. That is succession planning! Most high end computing organizations have a very skilled and highly educated work force. With the current wave of retirements I believe we will soon, if not already, start to see a tremendous shortage of these skills, especially in the leadership group.
Succession planning and mentoring must become a major emphasis as we develop new leaders in our industry. My question; Does everyone recognize this and how are you addressing it?

Welcome
It is my hope this blog will promote the involvement of all levels of personnel across the full scope of high end computing from systems operators to the chief scientist. High end computing is a special concern for our governments. I hope that in some small way this blog might answer some of their concerns and perhaps in some small way aid our soldiers, airman, marines, and sailors engaged in active warfare at this time.
Welcome one and all.MilMor
