• THE IMPACT OF SUPERCOMPUTERS ON RESEARCH

• Total available cycles for speech research from
  1983 to 1993 90 TeraMIPS

• MS State Empire cluster (1,000 1 GHz
  processors)90 TeraMIPS per day

• A Day in a Life 24 hours of idle time on a
  modern supercomputer is equivalent to 10 years of
  speech research at Texas Instruments!

• Cost 1M is the nominal cost for scientific
  computing (from a 1 MIP VAX in 1983 to a
  1,000-node supercomputer)
