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)
