Title II of the High-Performance Computing Act of 
1991 (15 U.S.C. 5521 et seq.) is amended—
(1) by amending subsection (a) of section 201 to 
read as follows: 
‘‘(a) GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES.—As part of the 
Program described in title I, the National Science Founda-
tion shall—
‘‘(1) support research and development to gen-
erate fundamental scientific and technical knowledge 
with the potential of advancing high-performance 
computing and networking systems and their applica-
tions; 
‘‘(2) provide computing and networking infra-
structure support to the research community in the 
United States, including the provision of high-per-
formance computing systems that are among the most 
advanced in the world in terms of performance in 
solving scientific and engineering problems, and in-
cluding support for advanced software and applica-
tions development, for all science and engineering dis-
ciplines; and 
‘‘(3) support basic research and education in all 
aspects of high-performance computing and net-
working.’’;
(2) by amending subsection (a) of section 202 to 
read as follows: 
‘‘(a) GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES.—As part of the 
Program described in title I, the National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration shall conduct basic and applied re-
search in high-performance computing and networking, 
with emphasis on—
‘‘(1) computational fluid dynamics, computa-
tional thermal dynamics, and computational aero-
dynamics; 
‘‘(2) scientific data dissemination and tools to 
enable data to be fully analyzed and combined from 
multiple sources and sensors; 
‘‘(3) remote exploration and experimentation; 
and 
‘‘(4) tools for collaboration in system design, 
analysis, and testing.’’;
