What is status of High Performance Computing and Communications ?
  • In a nutshell, we understand issues and technologies quite well but next step frfom research to reality is hard and not clear where the "killer(winning) applications are"
The current U.S. Federal HPCC Program and particular work at NPAC on industrial implications
  • The survey of industrial applications and its implications
InfoVision (Information,Video, Simulation, Imagery, on demand) and MPP's as WebServers
  • Applications to Education. Television and other media, Community Networks
Lessons from a meeting at Pasadena, January 1995. HPCC does not clearly make business sense. Need expand user(application) and technology base
  • This will also improve(revolutionize) HPCC Software Infrastructure with productivity and Software Engineering tools.
