Secondly, the supercomputer would have to link up surveillance, with the possibility that a quarter of a million objects could be aloft at one time.
However, is he aware that the services rendered by the supercomputer centres are totally different?
It is very difficult to make effective comparisons between one supercomputer and another.
It consists of highly specialised tissue and is far more complex than the 21st century's supercomputers.
A grid of supercomputers, if organised efficiently, could tackle all those problems that arise in science which have had to be put aside until more powerful systems become available.
Many who model the weather on supercomputers today would argue that the weather forecasts produced are actually surprisingly good, given the great inhomogeneity and unreliability of the input data.
Contemporary supercomputers, by comparison, typically have a memory of about 109 bits.
An example of such a product is a supercomputer.
