Foil 13 Comparison of HPCC and JNAC - II

From Software Strategy for JNAC (PetaFlops) Initiative JNAC (PetaFlops) Presentation -- August 28,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


HPCC aimed at Grand challenges in Industry Government and Academia
  • JNAC aimed at government (including NSF) mission critical applications
HPCC developed software (PSE's) largely independently in each Grand Challenge
  • JNAC will link software efforts to a few PSE's and a common set of JNAC Interfaces
HPCC tended to develop hardware with rapidly changing architectures which software "chased" rather laboriously
  • JNAC develops software simultaneously with hardware and to a uniform common architecture allowing better re-use of both application and systems software
