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 |
