1 | Careful review of qualifications of teams to ensure they have appropriate mix of both professionals and researchers at leading edge of HPC research. |
2 | Whether one adopts either a narrow or broad view of HPC, the field is undoubtedly changing very rapidly with critical new developments both in industry and academia. |
3 | Even pure deployment or training programmes need to be cognizant of the latest developments and some of NTI activities were handicapped by lacking such expertise on the implementation team. |
4 | Further some of the other projects were largely research based and lacked necessary professional infrastructure development expertise. |
5 | I recommend that JISC carefully review overall qualifications of its proposal teams. |
