Foil 7 Proposed PetaSoft Program Structure

From Remarks on Fox's White Paper and Working Group Report PetaSoft Foolow-On Meeting San Diego -- January 28,29 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We assume near term development focussed on 1-10 Teraflop machines and evolving existing software technology
Current Software Infrastructure (O/S Tools) and concepts (Parallel Environments) will not be able to support petaflop architectures except in isolated cases.
Thus a Fresh start is essential!
Schedule involves point designs to clarify important issues, an ongoing research program and a fresh start developmental phase starting after about 3 years
