such as ...

- test vector generation for new chips
- semiconductor simulation
- financial modeling
- distributed  auto-place and route for FPGAs
- jet engine simulation

are these supercomputer apps? They're all very old uses of "grids", dating
back 12-15 years, 3 of them used Condor, one of them I ran (FPGAs).
