2020 Computing: A two-way street to science's future
Ian Foster1
- Ian Foster is director of the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, USA.
Abstract
To view the relationship between computing and science as a one-way street is mostly untrue today, argues Ian Foster, and will be even less true by 2020.
A growing number of sciences, from atmospheric modelling to genomics, would not exist in their current form if it were not for computers. A simplistic analysis of this relationship focuses on hardware, and sees science as largely a passive beneficiary of the computing industry's relentless innovation, acquiring and applying to its own ends the fastest computers, largest disks and most capable sequencing machines.
