What applications of clusters of processors are likely to be cost/effective and relevant to Society in Europe?
A1. Many intricate scientific problems with enormous social and political implications await solutions that can be processed only on computers that can execute more than a quadrillion floating-point operations per secondtrans-petaflops performance. Climate Modeling Perhaps the most critical issue facing the earths inhabitants is the need for accurate predictive scenarios for both short- and long-term weather changes. First, trans-petaflops computers could integrate the huge quantities of satellite data into detailed maps. The mapped data could then be used to simulate and model the chaotic and interrelated behaviors of the elements of our global climate systems, allowing accurate predictions. Controlled Fusion Both an answer to the worlds energy problems and a way to power spacecraft across the solar system, thermonuclear fusions vast complexity has kept it continually just over the horizon. Transpetaflops computers would simulate the thermal, electromagnetic and nuclear interactions o
