Foil 5 Solution to HPCC Dilemma

From Integration of Scientific and Technical Computing with Enterprise Information Systems: Gateway and IPSE ASC Dayton Ohio Invited Presentation -- October 29 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Well I can't guarantee solution but there is only one possible approach ....
Make more use of commodity (the other 99%) software and minimize reliance on specialized HPCC software
Identify those requirements that are "pure HPCC" and focus specialized software there
e.g. accessing a database or logging into a computer/compiling is NOT HPCC
sending low latency MPI messages is HPCC
More subtly linking coarse grain software modules is NOT HPCC
