See Software for HPCC Petaflops Architectures - A White Paper For Fox White Paper

Or Computing on the Web New Approaches to Parallel Processing Petaop and Exaop Performance in the Year 2007 for more details on realtion to web Technologies

The first part of these foils summarizes Fox's white paper suggesting need for both fundamental research and careful attention to engineering issues

Use of Web Technologies can help Engineering of Attractive Systems

The second part of talk contains results of a small working group chaired by Fox which met on first day and developed a straw plan to with research and development of "fresh start" software technologies needed for PetaFlop machines

Note Industry view that fresh start was needed -- especially in operating systems.
