In particular, it noted that the U.S. policy on high performance computing, imposing restrictive duties on Japanese vector supercomputers, significantly complicates the people problem for the Climate Service in that massively parallel distributed-memory computers requires a much greater investment in software, both system and applications, and therefore requires just the type of information technologists in greatest demand in a booming software industrial environment.
