[CIG-ALL] CIG Computing Needs Survey

[Peter Olson]

Dear Colleague,

You might have heard that the National Science Foundation is 
embarking on an effort to develop a national geosciences facility 
which will feature sustained petaflops performance. In light of this 
plan, CIG's Science Steering Committee (SSC) is conducting a survey 
on how you, the CIG community, see your needs in terms of computing 
hardware. In particular,
we want to survey your needs for petascale, terascale, versus small 
to medium clusters. In addition, we're also very interested in 
knowing how you think CIG is doing so far.

Please visit this URL at your earliest convenience and take a few 
minutes to fill out the online survey:

We would like to have everyone's input by the Oct. 16-18 
Computational  Sciences Workshop and CIG Roundtable, which I hope you 
will consider attending.

(see http://www.geodynamics.org/cig/workinggroups/cs/workshops).

Thanks in advance for taking the time to participate in our survey.

Best Regards,

Peter Olson
Chairman, Science Steering Committee
