Robin Grimes’ seminar: The Inexhaustible Rise of Computer Simulation

Robin Grimes’ seminar: The Inexhaustible Rise of Computer Simulation

The researcher at Imperial College of London, and Chief Scientific Adviser at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, discusses the rise in simulation and what the future may hold for scientific computing.

Computer based, attention diverting technologies, improve year on year, facilitated by a steady increase in ‘computer power’. When and why that increase will end has been discussed endlessly for years, but the computers don’t listen and continue to advance. Furthermore, that growth is not linear. Professor Robin Grimes, Chief Scientific Adviser at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, discusses the rise in simulation and what the future may hold for scientific computing.
