Most of the activities it started are ongoing!
|
|
It achieved goal of Teraflop performance -- see Intel P6 machine at Sandia
|
|
But it failed to develop a viable commercial base
|
And although hardware peak performs at advertised rate, the software environment is poor
-
This could be due to poor hardware as well as lack of sufficient resources to sustain software effort
|
|
Academic Activities -- NSF Supercomputer centers -- are very healthy as much easier to put such codes on MPP as short in lifetime and lines of code
|
|
Next initiatives -- based on PetaFlop goal -- will include a federal development as well as research component as can't assume "brilliant research" will be picked up by industry
