  • Abstract
    If the US Department of Energy´s Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) is successful in achieving its next teraflops milestone using commodity technology, the PathForward project will have made it possible. The ambitious ASCI goal is to achieve a threefold increase in computing performance every 18 months over a 10 year period using off-the-shelf parts. As one of the problem solving components of the ASCI program, PathForward´s purpose is to leverage the technology of products currently being produced by computer companies. The author discusses the main aims of the PathForward project
