1 | Seamless (one at a time) access to multiple heterogeneous supercomputers -- what users want today |
2 | "Parameter Studies" (pleasingly parallel) |
3 | PC, Workstation, Origin 2000/SP2 clusters ("Grid in a box" -- parallel computing built from distributed components) |
4 | Federated Computing such as Distributed Modeling and Simulation with demands for flexible linkage of largish components but loose not tight coupling |
5 | TeleMedicine and Distance Education (not high performance?) |
