+=====Future of Scientific Computing=====
+What will the future hold?  Generally in plasma physics the driving force for larger and larger computations is the need to perform multiphysics simulations, coupling between many different models from the atomic scale through to full system descriptions.  The methodology is evolving too - moving towards more of a validation activity than algorithm and physics description phase: the future entails more validation analysis than previously.  Finally, the technology is evolving perhaps more rapidly than we can all keep up with: standard architectures are giving way to massively parallelized systems like GPUs.  This session with entail a summary of some of the more forward-looking aspects of scientific computing.
