From Initial CPS615 Course and Parallel Computing Overview CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 87
Parallel Computing Works!
Technology well understood for Science and Engineering
  • Good parallel algorithms, several examples of major applications in many fields exploring range of issues
  • Data and Message Parallel programming models developed
Supercomputing market small (few percent at best) and probably decreasing in size
  • Essential to have good common software infrastructure
  • Productivity tools -- Software Engineering -- Programming Support tools POOR
  • The parallel software "industry" is very small
