Urgent computing

Urgent computing is prioritized and immediate access on supercomputers and grids for emergency computations such as severe weather prediction during matters of immediate concern.[1][2]

Applications that provide decision makers with information during critical emergencies cannot waste time waiting in job queues and need access to computational resources as soon as possible.[3]
