Universities and the future of high-performance computing technology
Pages 469 - 477
Abstract
Universities have four main roles in the growth of computer technology. (1) Universities provide trained personnel for both the computing industry and industrial users of computing. (2) Universities carry out the majority of very advanced software research and prototype development. (3) Universities can provide an advance market for new computing hardware and can help manufacturers refine innovative products to serve commercial markets. (4) Universities carry out basic research needed to support continued technological growth. There are extraordinary developments taking place in computing that it is difficult for U.S. industry to absorb without the universities' help. Present university support is grossly inadequate for any of these functions. I propose a computer tax as a model of how universities should be supported. It would provide the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to restore the universities' role in computing-technology growth. More importantly, it would ensure that universities' future growth in technological areas is at the same rate as that of computing technology itself.
