Research in Very High Performance Computing: Policy Recommendation and Research Requirements Statement

摘要

The report is concerned with the most powerful computers, generically known as very high performance (VHP) computers. In particular it is concerned with the effects VHP computers will have on the future of the United States. VHP computers include advanced 'supercomputers' used primarily for mathematical modeling, 'embedded' computers used for real-time control, and specialized computers dedicated to a single application such as signal processing. They are used in research, industry, and defense.
