| This configuration can yield affordable, virtual supercomputing for applications whose data or tasks can be processed in parallel. |
| Open source software that can be ported to a variety of systems might be able to engender those more general supercomputing ecosystems. |
| The supercomputing crowd tends to set the pace for technology adoption across the server market. |
| To effect these changes, new research in supercomputing architecture is also needed. |
| The use of supercomputing in all of these areas is growing, and it is increasingly essential to continued progress. |
| An extrapolation of current trends clearly indicates the need for fundamental changes in the structure of supercomputing systems in the future. |
