Justification for Class VI scientific computing capability at Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque
Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque, has been delegated technical responsibilities in a wide variety of research and development activities of national importance. Sandia's scientific computer complex is an extremely valuable tool in solving technical problems associated with these research and development activities. Increasing problem complexity, plus the need to solve problems with greater confidence and accuracy in a timely fashion, has generated the need for significantly enhance scientific computing capacity and capability for Sandia in the near future. Accordingly, Sandia is requesting a Class VI computer for FY 81. Such a computer is capable of 20 to 6 x 10/sup 6/ floating-point operations per second. 10 figures
