Supercomputers have played an important role in various fields such as science, industry, national security and solutions for social issues, and their demand is increasing significantly as their use is strengthened in areas using big data and AI. Recently, competition for global exascale system development is accelerating based on various architectures, and the era of exascale computing is expected to come in the near future. However, the foundation of the domestic supercomputing ecosystem was lost due to the decline of the server industry in the past, and although the related law was enacted to supplement and foster it, it has not been able to perform its function smoothly. Therefore, this article examines the problems in the current legal system through the analysis of the relevant legal system and the status of the supercomputing ecosystem, and suggests improvements so that the relevant legal system, which can accommodate the reinforcement of the role of the government·national center·professional center, support for industries, promotion of commercialization of research results, and flexibility of government promotion policies, can prepare the basis for the promotion of the supercomputing R&D project.

현재 구조최적화는 아직도 실무설계에서 제 위상을 찾지 못하고 있다. 그 원인은 주로 지금까지의 대부분의 연구가 알고리즘 위주로, 교과서적 예제위주로 치달았기 때문이며 따라서 오늘날과 같은 고도의 전산화시대에도 실무설계자들에게 외면당하고 있는 실정이다. 앞으로 구조최적화 분야의 전문가들이 실무설계문제 응용위주의 연구개발에 주력함으로써 이러한 문제는 쉽게 극복될 것이며, 실무설계자들도 최적설계가 무엇인지 제대로 알지도 못하면서 외면만 하고 매도만 할 것이 아니라, 오늘날 멀티미디어 초고성능 PC시대에 막대한 정보 및 자료의 처리능력을 갖춘 CD롬과 고성능 통신기능, 고도의 음성, 문자, 영상인식 Input Media, 그리고 윈도우, 펜티엄 같은 현재의 OS와 OS/2, 시카고 같은 차세대 OS체계 하에서 고도의 CAD/CAD Expert 시스템이 실용화 되려면 최적설계는 재래적인 설게방법을 대치하는 시스템 내의 핵심설계코드가 되지 않을 수 없다는 점을 인식해야 할 것이다. 어차피 가까운 장래에 현재의 이론과 응용사이의 lAG와 실무설계자들의 오해가 해소되는 날이 오면 최적설계는 지금의 MPC시대는 물론 인공지능형, 사고형 차세대 컴퓨터 시대에 적합한 현대적인 구조설계법이 될 것임을 확신하는 바이다.

This study discussed production, demand, and future prospects of rubidium, which is an alkali group metal that is highly reactive to various media and requires carefulness in handling, but no significant environmental hazard of rubidium has been reported yet. Rubidium is used in various fields such as optoelectronic equipment, biomedical, and chemical industries. Because of difficulty in production as well as limited demand, the transaction price of rubidium is relatively high, but its detail information such as market status and potential growth is uncertain. However, if the mass production of versatile ultra-high-performance equipment such as quantum computers and the necessity of rubidium use in the equipment are confirmed, there is a possibility that the rubidium market will expand in the future. Rubidium is often found together with lithium, beryllium, and cesium, and may be present in granite containing minerals such as lepidolite and pollucite, as well as in seawater and industrial waste. Several technologies such as acid leaching, roasting, solvent extraction, and adsorption are used to recover rubidium. The maximum recovery efficiency of the rubidium from the sources and the processing above is generally high, but, in many practices, rubidium is not the main recovery target, and therefore the actual recovery effects should depend on presence of other valuable components or impurities, together with recovery costs, energy consumption, environmental issues, etc. In conclusion, although the current production and consumption of rubidium are limited, with consideration of the possible market fluctuations according to the emergence of large-scale demand sources, etc., further investigations by related institutions should be necessary.
