HPCC Futures Topic 2:A Possible PetaFlop Initiative

Given by Geoffrey Fox, Peter Kogge at Trip to China on July 12-28,96. Foils prepared July 6 1996

This describes some aspects of a national study of the future of HPCC which started with a meeting in February 1994 at Pasadena
The SIA (Semiconductor Industry Association) projections are used to define feasible memory and CPU scenarios
We describe hardware architecture with Superconducting and PIM (Processor in Memory possibilities) for CPU and optics for interconnect
The Software situation is captured by notes from a working group at June 96 Bodega Bay meeting
The role of new algorithms is expected to be very important


This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
