Computer simulations are important for both basic science and product/process simulations. The breadth and power of these simulations have grown significantly as processor power has increased in a predictable fashion over more than a decade. But in the last several years, growth has shifted from clock-speed increases to increases in computational width as the result of design changes forced on chip designers by basic physics. Width means parallelism, either within an instruction stream (SIMD) or across multiple cores, and frequently in combination.

计算机模拟对于基础科学和产品/过程模拟都很重要。随着处理器能力在十多年中以可预测的方式增加，这些模拟的广度和能力显著增长。但在过去的几年里，由于基础物理迫使芯片设计者进行设计更改，增长已经从时钟速度的增加转向计算宽度的增加。宽度意味着在指令流(SIMD)内或跨多个内核的并行性，并且经常组合在一起。
