A Brief History of Scientific Computing
- Early 1990's to Mid 1990's
Desktops used for distributed computing - Capabilities of CPU/Memory/Disk rapidly increasing - "loaded" workstations - ATM inter-connect - Software development environments begin to mature - Standards begin to appear - MPI, HPF, DCE...
- Further Advances in the 1990’s
- Performance of networks and computers will increase by 1000during the 1990’s.- Competitive advantage to industries that can use either or bothHPC and Communications networks.
