GLOBAL foilset HPCC Status -- TeraFlop to Web and Petaflops -- Success and Failure

Given by Geoffrey Fox at Trip to China on July 12-28,96. Foils prepared July 6 1996
More Detail! * Foil Index from this file * See also color IMAGE

We describe the structure of seven talks making up this review of HPCC from today to the Web and Petaflop performance in future
Here we describe current status with HPCC in some sense both a failure and a great success
This requires looking at hardware, software and the critical lack of commercial adoption of this technology
We discuss COTS and trickle up and down technology strategies
We describe education and interdisciplinary computational science in both simulation and information arenas
