Foil 15 Supercomputer Architectures in Years 2005-2010 -- II

From HPCC Futures Topic 2:A Possible PetaFlop Initiative Trip to China -- July 12-28,96. by Geoffrey Fox, Peter Kogge * See also color IMAGE
Superconducting Technology is promising but can it compete with silicon juggernaut?
Should be able to build a simple 200 Ghz Superconducting CPU with modest superconducting caches (around 32 Kilobytes)
Must use same DRAM technology as for silicon CPU ?
So tremendous challenge to build latency tolerant algorithms (as over a factor of 100 difference in CPU and memory speed) but advantage of factor 30-100 less parallelism needed
