As powerful as today's parallel supercomputers are, they will be inadequate for future applications. Current projections of future computational requirements for important NASA missions range from hundreds to thousands of times the power of today's most powerful systems. When the basic hardware components of such systems become available (some time in the next decade), these systems will require novel designs to avoid performance bottlenecks and programmability problems.

Thus, research needs to focus on understanding the characteristics of large NASA applications and on modeling various proposed future parallel system designs to see which design is most likely to meet NASA's future requirements. Candidates must have some experience in modeling computer systems and in coding large-scale scientific applications. Programming experience on highly parallel, RISC-based computers is desirable, as is some experience with scientific visualization.
