This book concerns itself with the historical and theoretical context of high-performance computing and communications networks, emphasizing the central role of the United States' contribution to the development of the internet and the potential societal benefits of further developing supercomputer technologies and software. The development of supercomputers, software programming and enhanced communication networks is explored in depth, with detailed attention given to the collaboration between the public and private sectors in research and development. The author of this book makes a persuasive case that supercomputing technology will play a key role in the trajectory of industry and education in the United States and elaborates upon the scientific and engineering grand challenges (mapping the human genome, forecasting and preventing global climate change, developing new energy technologies, and many more) that can be most efficiently addressed by dramatically improving computing capability.
