Air Force Weapons Laboratory Computational Requirements for 1976 Through 1980

Abstract

The large scale scientific computational requirements of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory for 1976 through 1980 are described in this report. Present computer resources fall far short of meeting requirements. The acquisition of a scientific computer of advanced design is the best and most cost effective approach to meeting mission requirements. The ultimate benefit resulting from such acquisition by the Laboratory is the increased security of the United States by ensuring orderly progress in nuclear and laser research. The availability of an advanced, large-scale, scientific computational system is vital to the performance of the Laboratory mission. Without such a resource, it is impossible for mission requirements to be met.
