From page 305...
... We estimate that the steady funding level required to implement this recommendation is as follows: $1.5 million/year for capital equipment $0.7 million/year for equipment maintenance $1.5 million/year for (software) personnel Although the funding agencies should be responsible for the capital equipment costs, the maintenance and personnel costs provide an opportunity for cost sharing.
From page 306...
... There exist computational problems of outstanding importance to astrophysics that can be solved only with the aid of the most advanced computers. We urge the funding agencies to use their influence to ensure that qualified astrophysicists continue to have access to the largest and most sophisticated computing equipment.
