Abstract

In the last 50 years, the field of scientific computing has seen rapid, sweeping changes—in vendors, in architectures, in technologies, and in the users and uses of high-performance computer systems. The evolution of performance over the same 50-year period, however, seems to have been a very steady and continuous process. Moore’s law is often cited in this context, and, in fact, a plot of the peak performance of the various computers that could be considered the "supercomputers" of their times clearly shows that this law has held for almost the entire lifespan of modern computing. On average, performance has increased every decade by about two orders of magnitude.
