应该看到下一个十年大学里基础研究的科学计算能力会有惊人的增长。容量的总增量可以超过10~7倍。这个计算容量的大部分(我相信)是由理论科学家和工程人员进行计算机模拟所使用的。为什么必然有这样的增长,有几个原因:第一,基础理论科学正在由象氢原子之类的可解析求解的模型体系走向象化学键、紊流、一级相变、天体生命史,以及夸克的非贯穿性(quark confinement)之类的现实生活复杂事物的问题。所有这些研究课题都需要计算机模拟来提供定量的实例以便确认(或推
It should be noted that there will be spectacular growth in the scientific computing power of basic research in the next decade. The total incremental capacity can be more than 10 to 7 times. Much of this computing capacity (which I believe) is used by computer scientists for simulation and engineering. There are several reasons why such an increase is inevitable. First, basic theoretical science is moving from analytically solvable model systems such as hydrogen atoms to chemical bonds, turbulence, first-order phase changes, celestial life histories, and quarks The problem of complex things in real life, such as quark confinement. All of these research topics require computer simulations to provide quantitative examples to confirm (or push
