Foil 31 Some HPCC Software Questions for BMC3IS

From HPCC Applications in Industry IDA Presentation -- October 31,1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
What is the appropriate virtual machine(s) i.e. (industry standard) computing model for BMC3IS ?
How important is ADA ?
  • Next upgrade (ADA9X) of ADA will not address deficiencies in area of (data) parallel computing
  • ADA mandated by DOD but not used in analogous commercial applications (C++ dominant ?)
  • DOD wants to use civilian facilities for "agile manufacturing"
    • Can it afford different software standards ?
  • DOD mandates ADA but it does NOT mandate parallel computing be used in , say, simulation of AX (next Navy plane)
Does parallel software engineering mean anything to a wide community?
