Superconducting Technology Assessment (NSA, Office of Corporate Assessments)

Description

The government, and particularly NSA, has a continuing need for ever-increasing computational power. The Agency is concerned about projected limitations of conventional silicon-based technology and is searching for possible alternatives to meet its future mission-critical computational needs. This document presents the results of a Technology Assessment, chartered by the Director of NSA, to assess the readiness of ultra-high-speed superconductive SC Rapid Single Flux Quantum RSFQ circuit technology for application to very-high-performance petaflops-scale computing systems...
