Secs 51
1 Originally $2.9 billion over 5 years starting in 1992 and
  • Rapidly growing Information technology component starting in 1994 and total budget now over $1 billion per year
2 The Grand Challenges
  • Enabled by teraflop computers and important to economy or fundamental research
    • Global warming - NOAA
    • Oil reservoir and environmental simulation - DOE
    • Structural and aerodynamic calculations - NASA
    • Earth observing satellite - data analysis - NASA
    • Human genome - NIH, DOE
    • Quantum chromodynamics - Fundamental Physics
    • Gravitational waves from black holes - Fundamental Physics
    • Molecular modeling - Fundamental Chemistry
3 Nearly all grand challenges have industrial payoff but technology transfer NOT funded by HPCCI
