A new report from the National Research Council, THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF HIGH-END COMPUTING ON FOUR FIELDS OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, looks at scientific advances that could be achieved using high-end computing. The report – which focuses on the fields of astrophysics, atmospheric science, chemical separations, and evolutionary biology – identifies major scientific questions that will require high-end computing to address. The report also describes the requirements needed to address these questions and discusses the ramifications of postponing the use of high-end computing.
