World ocean weather forecasts, wave forecasts, ocean circulation,oil spill forecasts and forecasts of fish and shellfish resources have an insatiable appetite formore and faster computational capability. In my short lifetime, computational assets have grownfrom flops to kiloflops, to megaflops, to gigaflops, to terraflops to petaflops with no end in sight.Our National Science Foundation, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Departmentof Energy have been instrumental in keeping overall U.S. computational science and engineeringassets at the cutting edge. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (FEMA) performed in a highly effective manner during the 2012Hurricane season with their forecasts
