Scale
Size of problem sets
Operation costs• Power & Cooling• Space• Complexity• Manpower
Going UP
First to Face the Productivity Crisis
Productivity• Programmability • System availability• Operational efficiency
System balance
HW Acquisition costs
Going DOWN
Critical importance of high-end capability, coupled with relatively small market demand, has led to government funding. DARPA
has the right set of goals.

X64 Compute Node Evolution
Future:8P Building Block64-bit architecture 32 GByte memory
Present:2P Building Block32-bit architecture 4 GByte memory
Historical choice due to 32-bit architecture limitations
8P with large memory and 64-bit architecture is better building block
●Larger compute nodes with much larger memoryenable much more efficient models of physical world
