This provides a significant performance advantage on virtually every platform from workstation to supercomputer.
A few years ago, such simulations, within realistic conditions, were restricted to supercomputer centers.
However, regarding possible applications, for example, for developing numerical codes, this model is inappropriate because of its complexity even if a modern supercomputer is available.
All of these new systems are designed to be coordinated by selfconfiguring networks of satellites, sensor arrays and supercomputers.
Furthermore, often a high-accuracy solution is needed, and thus such problems can be computationally quite challenging even for parallel supercomputers.
However, even with high-speed supercomputers, this design process can still be hindersome, producing designs that evolve slowly over a long period of time.
The fastest supercomputer of the day in 1997 was 1.5r1012 ops.
An example of such a product is a supercomputer.
