My usual rule of thumb is that up to 10 million equations is doable on normal PC hardware. This is 15000 times over that amount.
In some cases I feel models are overly detailed. Often the answer to results that don’t match expectations is: “we need to add more detail”. I am convinced this is not always the correct conclusion. Of course building and solving large models is more sexy than small models. But much insight can be learned from really small models.
The Titan supercomputer has about 500 Terabyte memory (the link expresses memory in Tebibytes– I had to look that up).
