Abstract

Present High Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC) systems are facing strong limitations when full integration from nano-materials to operational system is desired. The HPSC have to be upgraded from the actual designed exa-scale machines probably available after 2015 to even higher computer power and storage capability to yotta-scale in order to simulate systems from nano-scale up to macro scale as a way to greatly improve the safety and performances of the future advanced nuclear power structures. The road from the actual peta-scale systems to yotta-scale computers, which would barely be sufficient for current calculation needs, is difficult and requires new revolutionary ideas in HPSC, and probably the large-scale use of Quantum Supercomputers (QSC) that are now in the development stage.
