Foil 59 Comparison of HPCC and JNAC - I

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Beijing and Chang Sha China -- 28 Dec 97 to 5 Jan 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Both set a hardware goal (teraflop for HPCC and petaflop for JNAC) to focus activity but in each case systems and applications were main justification
2 Both couple applications with software and architectures in multidisciplinary teams with multi-agency support
3 HPCC was dominantly research
  • JNAC is roughly 50-50 research and development
4 HPCC inevitably developed MPP's and transferred parallel computing to computing mainstream
  • JNAC's challenge is memory hierarchy and will transfer understanding of this to mainstream independent of parallelism
