Abstract

In this paper the need for super computers in aerospace research and industry is motivated by describing the computational needs of three aerospace applications. The computational needs are described in terms of performance, memory resources and portability. It is discussed to what extent next generation super computers satisfy these needs. The conclusion of this discussion is that shared memory vector machines satisfy the present requirements, but in the near future distributed memory machines can no longer be avoided.
