Foil 33 The HPCC Dilemma and its Solution

From Overview of Integration of Databases and Distributed Objects with the Web Tutorial: ITEA HPCC Conference Aberdeen Md. -- July 13 98. by Geoffrey Fox, Nancy McCracken
HPCC has developed good research ideas but cannot implement them as solving computing's hardest problem with 1 percent of the funding
  • HPCC applications are very complex and use essentially all computer capabilities and also have synchronization and performance constraints from HPCC
We have learnt to use commodity hardware either
  • partially as in Origin 2000/SP2 with consumer CPU's but custom network or
  • fully as in PC cluster with fast ethernet/ATM
Let us do the same with software and design systems with maximum possible commodity software basis
