Cost

• Cost is O(Re^3)

• Re=1K simulation ~ 1 week on 512 processors of ASCI Red

  • 50GF, 64 GB

• Re=10K ~ 1 year on all 8192 processors of ASCI Red

  • 800GF, 1TB

• We’d really like to get simulate Re=1M …

• Can’t even think of doing the Re=1K problem on a uniprocessor machine let alone the 10K or 1M problems!
