Foil 3 Some HPCC Hardware Architectures and Their Status - I

From HPCC Current Status: Hardware MPP Trip to China -- July 12-28,96. by Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE
The future sees:
  • 1:Mainly the relentless drive of CMOS juggernaut with Moore's law!
  • 2:The growth of World Wide networked computers from settop boxes to MPP's
  • 3:Processor in Memory (PIM)
  • 4:Superconducting CPU's and interconnect (but no memory?)
  • 5:Optical Interconnects
  • 6:Quantum Computing (see Scientific American Oct 95 p140 by Seth Lloyd(MIT)
  • 7:DNA or molecular computing
We will discuss the first two here, the next three in "Petaflop futures" and I leave the last two to a future generation!
