Foil 93 The HPCC Dilemma and its Solution

From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox, (Some Culler, Koelbel material)
1 HPCC has developed good research ideas but cannot implement them as solving computing's hardest problem with 1 percent of the funding
  • HPCC applications are very complex and use essentially all computer capabilities and also have synchronization and performance constraints from HPCC
2 We have learnt to use commodity hardware either
  • partially as in Origin 2000/SP2 with consumer CPU's but custom network or
  • fully as in PC cluster with fast ethernet/ATM
3 Let us do the same with software and design systems with maximum possible commodity software basis
