III. Key drivers: The Need for PetaFLOPS Computing

III. Key drivers: The Need for PetaFLOPS Computing

• 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
• The need for ever greater computing power will remain.
• PetaFLOPS systems are right step for the next decade
