 | | The overall computing style in important application areas appears to be evolving toward one in which community models are developed and used by large groups. | | | Various experts made estimates of the long-range computing power needed for their disciplines in units of petaflops. | | | To move toward a full solution of these problems would require capabilities of 100 Pflops and beyond. |

| | A streaming scientific computer can be scaled from a $20K 2 TFLOPS workstation to a $20M 2 PFLOPS supercomputer. | | | Bill Dally and his group have developed system architecture, network architecture, signaling, routing, and synchronization technology that can be found in most large parallel computers today. | | | A 1-PFLOPs machine, for example, can be realized with just 8,192 nodes. |

| | Grape-DR Project |
| | Construction of an ultrahigh-speed computer system exceeding performance of a possible single processor inevitably requires a parallel distributed architecture, and in fact, all the ultrahigh-speed computer system projects in practice adopt such an architecture. | | | The goal of the project is to construct 2PFLOPS computing engine and global research infrastructure that utilize multi-10Gbps networks by 2008. | | | GRAPE-DR will accomplish 2PFLOPS by integrating 2 million arithmetic processors in high density into the size of less than 10 racks(Note2), and a network and file system will be implemented by highly integrated IP disk technology(Note3). |

| | Merrimac - Stanford Streaming Supercomputer Project |
| | Merrimac is designed to be a streaming scientific computer that can be scaled from a $20K 2 TFLOPS workstation to a $20M 2 PFLOPS supercomputer. | | | This in turn allows a given level of performance to be achieved with fewer nodes (a 1-PFLOPS machine, for example, with just 8,192 nodes) resulting in greater reliability, and simpler system management. | | | Streaming Supercomputer officially named Merrimac, which is a Native American word meaning "swift stream". |

| | Sun Labs is working on computers at the other end of the spectrum as well, and it claims to have developed the world's smallest secure Web server. | | | If Sun wins approval to build a working machine in the next phase, one or more prototypes could be installed by 2009, Drost says. | | | Those machines would run at sustained speeds of 1 quadrillion floating-point operations per second (PFLOPS), about 15 times faster than the fastest supercomputer today, and be scalable to 4PFLOPS. |

| | 32 PFLOPS is more than 2^64 instructions per second. | | | The optical interface could be used to link towers (note that at 4GHz light only travels 3 inches per clock cycle - so there is quite a latency even at lightspeed!). | | | But if you're not even using your PS3 all that power could be used for something like Seti@Home or Folding@Home - you run software that connects your PS3 to other PS3s to form what's in effect a gigantic supercomputer. |
