The John von Neumann Computer Center: An Analysis

The NSF

NSF had moved forward on the basis of the proposals of the Lax Report and, with only modest previous experience with such large and complex organizations, established the five centers. The OASC reported directly to the Director of NSF to manage the cooperative agreements with the centers. Most of the senior people in this small office were tapped from other directorates within NSF to take on difficult responsibilities, and these people often had little or no prior experience with supercomputers.
