From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
1 In March 1994 Arpa Meeting in Washington, Boeing(Neves) endorsed parallel databases and not parallel simulation
  • Similar comment made to me by Major Brokerage
    • "Financial Modelling (on MPP) gets the headlines but information services are the critical problem"
2 Aerospace Engineers are just like University Faculty

3 There is perhaps some general decline of Supercomputer Industry

  • Users don't take full advantage of this performance Increase
    • Rather buy somewhat more powerful computers at somewhat lower cost
