This overview was part of a NASA sponsored workshop involving MADIC (Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design Industrial Consortium) Team 2, NASA, Georgia Tech, Rice and NPAC.
|
|
This started a MADIC activity to identify and demonstrate the use of NII technology in ASOP (Affordable Systems Optimization Process) -- a novel approach to Multidisciplinary Optimization for aircraft and other complex system design.
|
|
ASOP intrinsically involves world wide collaboration between several large aerospace corporations and tens of thousands of suppliers and so the NII can have major value both for supporting collaboration between people and for supporting the thousands of linked optimizations -- each involving several different programs.
|
|
We stress the rapid evolution of the Web and the ability of Web Technology to be applied to Enterprise Inforemation Systems such as that required to manage ASOP.
|
|
MADIC companies involved include Rockwell, General Motors, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop-Grumman-Vought, Lockheed-Martin and General Electric.

High Performance (Parallel) Computers on High Speed (ATM) Networks linked to clients at a network performance that supporting realtime Video at a resolution between VHS,HDTV .

MPP's as Internet/Web/NII/GII Servers
-
NII/GII= National/Global Information Infrastructure
-
Supports Decisions by everybody in society
-
Consumers, Healthcare, Teachers, Schoolchildren, Business, Military,
|
Dual-Use Philosophy must be extended to Multi-Use
-
Different applications must share services
|
Standards must be used
-
from HPF/HPC++ in simulation arena to
-
to TCP/IP on ATM in networking
-
to parallel relational databases
-
to "Web" technology for multimedia
|
"Every" Business Office, Every doctor's Office, "Every" school desk, "Every" home(potential patient) (approximately any home on cable) will have a two-way high speed link to the NII
-
about 10 Megabits/second compared to
-
about 10 Kilobits/second for a modem (14.4 kbit/sec)
|
What does this factor of 1000 increase in performance do for the home?
-
TV + Settop Unit becomes Computer (analog) (interactive digital)
-
Modem & home PC supporting text interfaces becomes interactive full (VHS Þ HDTV resolution) video receiving unit
-
Interactive implies that you can choose what you want when you want it.
|
These consumer developments will drive MPP use
-
consumer products drives better high end business and research user level products e.g., cheap Virtual Reality Interfaces
-
MPP's are information servers for consumers, business, research
