Descrição: Last March the Japanese government fired up a computer that soon proved to be the fastest in the world, in some cases outperforming the next-fastest computer by a factor of 10. The Earth Simulator, built by NEC, took four years to assemble and cost at least $350 million. It quickly delivered real-world scientific results in global-climate modeling, completing simulations that made other computers look crude. The race to overtake the Earth Simulator has captured neither the US public's imagination nor a corresponding level of public funding. There is, however, one recurring driver for US spending on supercomputing - the need for more computational power to simulate nuclear weapons performance in place of underground testing. Many directors of centers for scientific computing say they believe the US is at a critical decision point, where choice of projects and the amount of funding invested in new high-performance-computing architectures could affect future security and prosperity in tangible ways.
