National Strategic Computing Initiative

This article is about the exascale computing initiative started in 2015. For the artificial intelligence initiative of 1983–1993, see Strategic Computing Initiative.

The National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI) is a United States initiative calling for the accelerated development of technologies for exascale supercomputers, and funding research into post-semiconductor computing.[1] The initiative was created by an executive order issued by President Barack Obama in July 2015.[1] Ten United States government departments and independent agencies are involved in the initiative. The initiative initially brought together existing programs, with some dedicated funding increases proposed in the Obama administration's 2017 budget request. The initiative's strategic plan was released in July 2016.
