Abstract
Supercomputers, designed to solve problems that would be otherwise intractable, have received considerable attention in recent years. It has been claimed that they are critical to national defense, that the economic well-being of companies and nations depends on their exploitation, and that the grand challenges facing today’s scientists — global change phenomena and human genome definition, e.g. — would remain as open challenges without supercomputer access [1].
