High performance computing architectures continue to evolve along several dimensions. These changes are driven by the demand for more complex simulations and the ability to create, handle, and analyse ever growing volumes of data.

This paper will focus on the state of the art in computer architectures designed to server large academic research communities in countries around the world. Prominent examples will include NCI (Australia), LRZ (Germany), and SciNet (Canada).

Besides these examples that are in place, trends in technology will be summarized, to show what can reasonably be expected in the next five years. This will include expected advances in many of the key areas of computer architecture, including processors, memory, networking, and storage. Particular emphasis will be placed on the rapidly evolving area of storage technology.
