Upcoming U.S. Rifles Need “Big Iron” Computing To Back Them, But American Supercomputing Is Falling Behind
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
-The beginning of Marty Robbins’ 1959 song “Big Iron”
As with the stranger that rode into town, having “big iron” matters at all levels.
