Computational infrastructure involves link of geographically distributed observations and computation
Seismic sensors, SAR etc.
Special Purpose Computers (such as GRAPE in Japan) for O(N2) particle dynamics could be used in Green's function approach to equation solvers.
These have 100 times performance of "conventional parallel machines" but maybe there are much larger algorithmic improvements to be gained which require classic parallel computers
