Computers used for numerical simulations of physical phenomena, e.g., flowfields, meteorology, structural analysis, etc., replace physical experiments that are too expensive or impossible to perform. The problems considered continually become increasingly more complex and thus demand faster processing times to do all necessary computations. The effects components technologies have on computer speed are leveling off, leaving new architectures and programming as the only currently viable means to upgrade speed. Parallel computations, either in the form of array processors, assembly line processing or multiprocessors are being explored using existing microprocessor technologies. Slower hardware configurations can also be made equivalent to faster supercomputers by economic programming. The availability of rudimentary parallel architecture supercomputers for general industrial use is increasing. Scientific applications continue to drive the development of more sophisticated parallel machines.
