Mr. Sterling acknowledged that while those cheap machines solve many problems there are computing challenges that will require fundamental new designs like the new Cray machine, called Cascade, that may reach a petaflop sometime near the end of this decade.
Games with great numbers of players present daunting computing challenges.
We agree that nuclear genes are useful for inferring deep-level lepidopteran relationships, but it is a technological and financial challenge to obtain a huge dataset composed of several nuclear genes from many species and a serious computing challenge to analyse them.
Google has never shied away from a computing challenge.
While parallel computation has been suggested as a potential solution to the computational challenges associated with eQTL analysis (Carlborg et al., 2005), many researchers have neither the expertise nor the resources required to administer and maintain a computing cluster.
Global communications and cheap computing power challenges many institutions.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an emerging field of research which combines many challenges in distributed computing and network optimization.
Today, the industry is awaiting an early-stage decision in the case of British Telcommunications v. Prodigy, another closely watched patent fight that, as have many before it, challenges a ubiquitous computing operation.
This advanced feature, recognized as application mobility, brings many challenges to the pervasive computing community.
There are many other challenges.
