Foil 7 Some Simulation Areas which will be Difficult to exploit in near term

From HPCC Defense Applications IDA Presentation -- October 31,1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Some areas which may adopt HPCC for simulation in relatively near future
  • Pharmaceutical Industry
    • Intense and brilliant academic (government research laboratory) effort in biochemical molecular modelling
    • But "Computer Designed Drugs" are not sufficiently promising to clearly justify purchase of large MPP's by drug industry
  • Financial Industry
    • MPP's being used by Prudential but in spite of success, they are not yet being generally adopted
    • Networks of Workstations severe competition as many problems are "embarassingly parallel"
  • Electrical Power Industry
    • Value seems clear for planning and real time control but
    • Industry conservative and faced with growing near term competition
