More data. • Sum of peak performance, Top500 lists Portugal, October 12th, 2007 4

The Scientific Case ● The Scientific case for high-end scientific computing in Europe was produced (Barcelona 08/05 – Cadarache 04/06) ● Some statements: “In the fields of astrophysics, high-energy physics and plasma physics supercomputers are required to support research where real experiments are not possible, too time-consuming or too expensive and where computing systems of lower performance levels are not adequate. They constitute an indispensable tool for top research. In the past few years scientific breakthroughs have been achieved by the use of supercomputers which would not have been possible on computers of lower performance classes.” Portugal, October 12th, 2007 5
