Abstract
The mathematical modeling capabilities of supercomputers and the possibilities they open up for scientific research are explored. The need for teraflop machines and progress in that direction are discussed. Some modeling applications are described. These include internal combustion engines, semiconductor crystal growth, electromagnetic simulation and design, molecular biology, imaging, geology, meteorology, ocean services, and turbulence
