These can be defined simply as those HPCC applications which have sufficient market to sustain a true balanced HPCC computing Industry with viable hardware and software companies
  • With this definition, some "Grand Challenges" such as Oil Exploration are National challenges
Alternatively one can define National Challenges by the HPCC technologies exploited
  • High speed geographically distributed (ATM) networks i.e.
  • The National Information Infrastructure (NII) with several hundred million clients and perhaps some 10,000 MPP based high performance multi-media servers
  • Large scale text, Image and Video databases fed by Satellites, Information produced by National Enterprise such as credit card slips etc.
