Extraordinary advances in computing technology in the past decade have set the stage for a major advance in scientific computing. Within the next five to ten years, computers another thousand times faster than today's computers will become available. These advances herald a new era in scientific computing - if they can be harnessed with scalable algorithms and software. To exploit this opportunity, these computing advances must be translated into corresponding increases in the performance of the scientific codes used to model physical, chemical, and biological systems. This is a daunting problem. Current advances in computing technology are being driven by market forces in the commercial sector, not by scientific computing. Harnessing commercial computing technology for scientific research poses problems unlike those encountered in previous supercomputers, in magnitude as well as in kind. These problems will be solved only with increased investments in computer software - in research and development on scientific simulation codes as well as on the mathematical and systems software that underlie these codes.
