===== Description=====
  * Functional areas
    * Parallelization of Detector reconstruction algorithms, physics object reconstruction/calibration algorithms
    * Utilization of CPU, accelerator hardware and what comes next in 5-10 years
    * Developing better algorithms in addition to parallelization
    * Portability solutions that support the same algorithm implementation on multiple hardware architectures
  * Mandate
    * Describe experimental  algorithms that are or will be used by the stakeholders
    * What are the processing resource needs to execute the experimental  algorithms of the stakeholders
    * What is the technology evolution of processing resources?
      * Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group
    * How will stakeholders be able to design and write algorithms for these processing resources?
      * Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group
      * Coordinate with Machine Learning working group
    * How can coding standards and performance standards be used?
      * Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group, and Collaboration and Ecosystem working group
    * How are the solutions used by the community embedded derived from solutions from industry/other science domains

===== CompF1 Report draft =====
A draft of the CompF1 report can be found [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/163MgyUCLOaPOB4pB8TjOQ6Ghml8i8gSvNHILMZHo2Vc/edit?usp=sharing|here]]. It contains an outline with the main topics as well as a preliminary executive summary that is aimed at summarizing CompF1s contribution to the final CompF report. Suggestions and contributions to the report are welcome.
