This is the first seminar in the Fundamental Particles and Interaction (FPI) Seminar Series.
Modern high energy and nuclear physics experiments have become increasingly dependent on computing both for processing the data collected and interpreting it. Many of the assumptions and predictions made in the 1990's have proven not to be the case in the 2010's. We are reaching a period when demand is growing exponentially but resources are only growing linearly. The next generation of supercomputers will have hundreds of times the computational power of the existing Grid, and represent a path forward to get us through this challenge. I will discuss how super-computing is becoming a part of HENP and describe some of the opportunities for future experiments.
