Spine tape binding. This type of document is very ephemeral and it is believed that very few copies have survived in the more than two decades since it was issued. The United States government's Strategic Computing Initiative funded research into advanced computer hardware and artificial intelligence from 1983 to 1993. The initiative was designed to support various projects that were required to develop machine intelligence in a prescribed ten-year time frame, from chip design and manufacture, computer architecture to artificial intelligence software. The project was superseded in the 1990s by the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative and then by the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program. These later programs did not include artificial general intelligence as a goal, but instead focused on supercomputing for large scale simulation, such as atomic bomb simulations. Among the sections in the Table of Contents are: Test-Based Stockpile Stewardship, Teaming With the U.S. Computer Industry, Advanced Applications Development, High-end Computing, Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program, Stockpile Life Extension, Condition: Very good.
Keywords: ASCI, Accelerated Strategic Computing, Program Plan, Stockpile Stewardship, Nuclear Weapons, High-Performance Computing, Applications Development, Problem-Solving Environments.
