The piece is full of staggering statistics about NSA, an eavesdropping and code-breaking operation that reportedly employs more mathematicians and operates more supercomputers than any other organization in the world.
This ability would allow a quantum computer to do the mathematical heavy-lifting required for, say, cracking secret codes, while even the fastest and most advanced supercomputers plod along on the same problem.
Many other projects, including supercomputers and 4G communications infrastructure, are being built in China and require a vision for the future as well as the ability to make required investments to gain access to needed technologies.
But quite apart from that not being what will happen (they are already calling for a programme the size of the weather prediction business, supercomputers and all) and thus much more money than that will be wasted, the programme itself will introduce horrible uncertainty into the system.
FORBES: No, You Can't Build a Big Computer to Model the Financial Markets
This is true of the flu, hepatitis and AIDS. With the avian flu, we've modeled the virus on supercomputers, and we think we understand why it binds deep in the lungs--it's not communicable--you don't cough it up.
In fact, IBM supercomputers comprise 4 out of the top 10 fastest supercomputers on the current list, and 213 out of the top 500 supercomputers.
"Cray is a leader in the high-end of the supercomputing industry, and the Cray XC30 system promises to continue the Company's strong standing in the market for designing, building and installing leadership-class supercomputers, such as the 'Titan' system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the 'Blue Waters' supercomputer at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications, " said Earl Joseph, IDC program vice president for HPC.

Parallel processing is a technology most commonly associated with supercomputers, and the graphics processing units found in PCs and gaming consoles.
FORBES: Intel Snaps Up Mobile Multimedia Specialist Silicon Hive
This will make supercomputers usable and malleable tools for humanities majors.
Dr Eastlund has also been able to draw on subsequent research on turning solids into plasmas. (This method is, in fact, used to apply coatings to the insides of tokamaks.) And the advent of supercomputers able to simulate tokamaks should also speed up the process of building a working prototype.
And the PLA should be denied the considerable espionage opportunities that arise from so-called military-to-military contacts and should no longer be able to acquire nuclear weapons-relevant supercomputers, missile technology, and other potentially deadly equipment from the United States.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: Message to Beijing��s Communists: It��s Time for them To Go
New machines from IBM and EMC will replace the supercomputers used to sequence the human genome.
This could be used to make supercomputers more stable and reliable, and make servers less vulnerable to hacker attacks.
Prof Murray said she believed Blue Ice was "one of the greenest supercomputers around" and also said the technium building where it is housed was itself "very sustainable and green".
Many scientists have started using graphics cards as number-crunching engines because they are cheaper and easier to use than traditional supercomputers.
