Analytical computer simulation of a complete battlefield environment
Article Abstract:
This paper discusses the necessity of studying new weapons systems with a comprehensive battlefield simulation. In the past, evaluations have been done with single event operations research models. These are useful, but today's systems are more interdependent than ever before. It is necessary to consider a system's contribution to the outcome of the battle and the availability of its support systems in carrying out its mission. A weapon may perform its designated function flawlessly but contribute little toward winning the war. A simulation which reproduces the entire environment in which a system will operate is a useful tool for answering complex questions about the utility of that system.

Applications of Supercomputers in the Petroleum Industry
Article Abstract:
Supercomputers are becoming a useful and important tool in the finding and developing of oil and gas reserves. Applications of supercomputers in the petroleum industry involve two important aspects: enormous computational power and massive data management. Vector computers are being used in petroleum engineering to simulate the flow of oil and gas in a reservoir, the faster performance of the vector machines making many, heretofore, unmanageable calculations possible. In exploration for oil and gas, supercomputers are being used to store, classify, and interpret huge amounts of geophysical seismic data.
