PetaFlops Applications

Huge Problem Size
- Astrophysics, particle physics
- Oil Reservoir, ground water modeling
- Quantum chemical studies (eg. of AIDS viruses)
- Genome search problems
Real Time Computations
- Global Weather
- 3D Heart modeling “in the operating room”
- Global image database queries
- Video image fusion with virtual environments
Indirect Needs for Petaflops technology
- Ubiquitous, keyboardless computers
- Virtual reality, educational “what if”
- High volume consumer applications (video games)
