Urgent computing

Urgent computing

Urgent computing is a new and evolving field made possible by the improved fidelity and utility of high-performance computing to decision making. It refers to the concept of providing prioritized and immediate access on regular Supercomputers and Grids for emergency computations such as severe weather prediction during matters of immediate concern. Applications that provide decision makers with information during critical emergencies cannot waste time waiting in the job queues and need access to compute resources as soon as possible.
