Foil 49 Some of the Teams were Imbalanced in Research v Infrastructure Expertise

From Remarks on Parallel Computing and HPCC Education Ohio Supercomputer Center Workshop -- January 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

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.
