1. lappuse - Appropriations; and the chairman, Subcommittee on Science, Technology and Space, Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
12. lappuse - CM-5 was provided by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
4. lappuse - This enables researchers to model abstract data, allowing them to 'see* and thus comprehend more readily what the data reveal. While still relatively limited in use, the number of supercomputers has risen dramatically over the last decade. In the early 1980s, most of the 20 to 30 supercomputers in existence were operated by government agencies for such purposes as weapons research and weather modeling. Today about 280 supercomputers1 are in use worldwide. Government (including 2 This figure includes...
3. lappuse - The unique computational power of supercomputers makes it possible to find solutions to critical scientific and engineering problems that cannot be dealt with satisfactorily by theoretical, analytical, or experimental means. Scientists and engineers in many...
12. lappuse - Objectives, Scope, and Methodology At the request of the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; the House Subcommittee on Technology and Competitiveness; and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology; we reviewed various industries' use of supercomputers and high-speed networks.
4. lappuse - Today about 280 supercomputers are in use worldwide. Government (including defense-related industry) remains the largest user, although private industry has been the fastest growing user segment for the past few years and is projected to remain so. The industries we are examining enjoy a reputation for using supercomputers to solve complex problems for which solutions might otherwise be unattainable. Additionally, they represent the largest group of supercomputer users. Over one-half of the 280 supercomputers...
3. lappuse - Although the term supercomputer does not refer to a particular design or type of computer, supercomputers, by its most basic definition, have been defined as the most powerful computer available at a given time.
14. lappuse - ... oil from those reservoirs. Such applications have become increasingly important because of the low probability of discovering large oil fields in the continental United States. New oil fields are often small, hard to find, and located in harsh environments making exploration and production difficult. The oil industry uses two key supercomputer applications, seismic data processing and reservoir simulation, to aid in oil exploration and production. These applications have saved money and increased...
25. lappuse - ... the computer screen and rotate these images to gain clues regarding biological activity and reactions to various potential drugs. Computer simulations are also being used in the chemical industry to replace or enhance more traditional laboratory measurements. Du Pont is currently working to develop replacements for chlorofluorocarbons, compounds used as coolants for refrigerators and air conditioners, and as cleansing agents for electronic equipment. These compounds are generally thought to contribute...
25. lappuse - Pont is using a supercomputer to calculate the thermodynamic data needed for developing this process. These calculations can be completed by the supercomputer in a matter of days, at an approximate cost of $2,000 to $5,000. Previously, such...
