6. FUNDING<br />

There are efforts that will have to be funded specifically to meet the technical requirements for superconductive<br />

supercomputers, especially for low temperature operation (4K/40K) and perhaps increasing the serial data rates<br />

from the 40-43 Gbps telecommunications standard to the 50+ Gbps superconductive processor clock speed. A<br />

total of $71M should insure that the necessary components will be available by 2010. This does not include the<br />

amount necessary to develop the electrical ribbon cable interconnect between the 4K and intermediate temperature<br />

environment, which is included in the Systems Integration Chapter.<br />
