Define information generally to include both CNN headline news and the insights on QCD gotten from lattice gauge theories
Information Production e.g. Simulation
  • Major concentration of MPP and HPCC at present
Information Analysis e.g. Extraction of location of oil from seismic data, extraction of customer preferences from purchase data
  • Growing area of importance and Short term major MPP opportunity in decision support combined with parallel databases
Information Access and Dissemination - InfoVision e.g. Transaction Processing, Video-On-Demand
  • enabled by National Information Infrastructure
  • Very promising medium term market for MPP but need the NII
  • to be reasonably pervasive before area "takes off"
Information Integration Decision support in business Command and Control for Military Concurrent Engineering and Agile Manufacturing
  • Integrates Information Production, Analysis, Access
  • Largest long term market for MPP
