Supercomputing to Feed the World

Sharan Kalwani writes that that supercomputers a critical tool for predicting severe weather that could threaten entire regions with famine. "Models have been improved - although at too slow a pace for the general public at large - that now this HPC approach is taking root in more than just the monsoon predictions. Tropical storms are also important and cyclones are also quite rampant. Recently two Petaflop-capable machines have been installed in a special tropical weather department in the central part of the country."
