ABSTRACT:  In this talk we will look at how high performance 
computing has changed over the last 10 years and look toward 
the future in terms of trends.  In addition, we advocate the  
"Computational Grids" to support "large-scale" applications. 

"Computational Grids" must provide transparent access to the 
complex mix of resources - computational, networking, and 
storage - that can be provided through aggregation of resources. 
The vision is of uniform, location independent, and transient 
access to the

     Computational
     Catalogued data
     Instrument system
     Human collaborator

resources of contemporary research activity in order to facilitate the
solution of large-scale, complex, multi-institutional/multidisciplinary
data and computational based problems.
