One need not have an academic program at all. For example very succesful is:
-
Caltech Current Computation Program (C3P) led by me from 1981-1990 and described in "Parallel Computing Works" , Morgan Kaufmann 1994.
-
Boston Center for Computational Science - led by two physicists Giles and Rebbi with university support for infrastructure, excellent research program and some new courses
-
NSF Supercomputer Centers
