Foil 21 A Comment on the Use of Databases in "HPCC"

From CEWES Year 2 Summary of NPAC Activitie CEWES End of Year 2 Review Vicksburg -- Feb 24-26 98. by David Bernholdt, Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Historically, HPCC field has not made much use of commercial software. Especially database systems.
2 Elsewhere, databases increasingly viewed as "the right way" to do many things. May require slightly larger initial investment (software, training...), but cheaper over entire life cycle.
3 NPAC currently runs four Oracle servers. Question is not whether to add more, but how many more and if production or development or teaching?
4 Lack of clear RDBMS strategy at CEWES MSRC limits these WWW/database projects & possibly other creative and useful applications
