The Future of AstroComputing was in December, 2010 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). A main goal of this conference was to clarify the big issues for the next five years or so in astrophysical computation and data. Another goal was to bring together leaders in the field, at the main funding agencies, and in industrial organizations to meet with key computational astrophysicists—especially those from the University of California and other West Coast institutions including Stanford University, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of Washington.
