Mission Mission: The Coordinating Panel for Software and Computing works to strengthen and support the software and computing community that underpins high energy physics (HEP) research in the United States. Hosted by the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society, the CPSC brings together researchers, developers, institutions, and i ndustry partners to address shared challenges in computing, foster innovation, and promote collaboration across the HEP community. We work to: Motivate support for the Software and Computing community to develop, adopt and operate cutting-edge software and computing technologies Build bridges between science, academia, and industry Support training, recognition, and career development for computing professionals Promote participation and access across the US-HEP community in S&C By connecting expertise and ideas across disciplines, the CPSC helps ensure that the HEP community is prepared to meet the computational dema nds of today s experiments and tomorrow s discoveries.
Snowmass Main recommendation: CompF recommends the creation of a standing Coordinating Panel for Software and Computing (CPSC) under the auspices of DPF, mirroring the panel for advanced detectors (CPAD) established in 2012. The charge and scope of this panel will be discussed within the community in subsequent months. The panel would promote, coordinate, and assist the HEP community on Software and Computing, working with scientific collaborations, grassroots organizations, institutes and centers, community leaders, and funding agencies on the evolving HEP S&C needs of experimental, observational, and theoretical aspects of the HEP programs. The scope should include research, development, maintenance, and user support. There is also a recommendation for the CPSC to setup a study group on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in HEP computing. The CPSC will be neither a center nor an institute and will not manage budgets. Recommendation #3: Support computing professionals, researchers, and physicists to conduct code re-engineering and adaptation to enable use of heterogeneous resources effectively. Recommendation #4: Make a strong investment in career development for HEP S&C researchers to ensure future success.
Awards Proposal: Two tiers of awards: Early Career Achievement Instead of having categories I would propose multiple early career and try to ensure we balance across experiment and theory, computing and software, etc. 3 Early Career 1 Achievement Discussed at the last meeting how to acknowledge the award with a presentation
Naming A public naming exercise has the advantage of getting a better name and better name recognition Propose making a Survey Monkey Survey Do we want to collect input, or let people vote?
