Foil 145 III. Key drivers: The Need for PetaFLOPS Computing

From Master Foilset for HPC Achitecture Overview CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Applications that require petaFLOPS can already be identified
  • (DOE) Nuclear weapons stewardship
  • (NSA) Cryptology and digital signal processing
  • (NASA and NSF) Satellite data assimilation and climate modeling
2 The need for ever greater computing power will remain.
3 PetaFLOPS systems are right step for the next decade
