1The 1991 report Grand Challenges: High Performance Computing and Communications, from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, offers this definition: "A Grand Challenge is a fundamental problem in science and engineering, with broad economic and scientific impact, whose solution could be advanced by applying high performance computing techniques and resources." There is no exhaustive list of such problems, but examples such as weather and climate prediction, structural biology, semiconductor design and modeling of turbulence are indicative of the range and complexity of the targeted problems.
