powering the world's supercomputers.
Supercomputers are used mainly to simulate and
perform large mathematical calculations. My
favorite is the Earth Simulator in Japan - I love
the idea of simulating Earth's conditions. It
used to be in the top 5, and has now fallen to

will find a somewhat dated, but still useful,
lecture I used to use in class which focuses on
viruses and antivirus for UNIX/Linux operating
systems. Each of the antivirus programs mentioned
in the lecture is commercial - there is no
mention of open source antivirus options. Why do
you think this is? In at least 250 words, give
three reasons (and support them) why open source
antivirus technology has been slow to develop.
