Description

This IDC study explores the potential impact of the latest generation of large-scale supercomputers that are just now becoming available to researchers in the United States and around the world. These systems along with the ones planned to be installed over the next few years create an opportunity to substantially change how scientific research is accomplished in many fields.

According to Earl Joseph, IDC program vice president, High-Performance Computing, "We see the use of large-scale supercomputers becoming a driving factor in the balance of power between nations."
