Computing within the 2021 Snowmass process

Abstract

We present different elements of the 2021–2022 Computational Frontier (CompF) effort within the Snowmass process, including organization, events, and highlights of the final report [1]. With focus in the next 10–15 years, we analyze the impact of newly established and emerging technologies, identify challenges within theoretical, experimental and observational research programs, and present the report recommendations. We emphasize the main recommendation, which is the formation of a Coordinating Panel for Software and Computing (CPSC).
