Massively parallel computers running at TeraFLOP speeds are allowing accurate simulations of much larger chemical systems and are making practical wholly new simulation methods such as first principles molecular dynamics. The efficient use of such computers requires increased collaboration between the physicists and chemists developing the methods and the mathematicians and computer scientists developing the underlying algorithms. New numerical algorithms are needed that will scale on the growing number of processors required to achieve post-TeraFLOP speeds. Additionally, the simulation of larger chemical systems is creating new bottlenecks, such as global optimization, that require fundamental new developments in mathematical algorithms.
