Foil 7 Clusters of PC's/Workstations are Only HPCC Deployment in Most Places!

From Remarks on Parallel Computing and HPCC Education Ohio Supercomputer Center Workshop -- January 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Suggest Coordinated effort to aid accelerated deployment of low cost clusters into HE institutions.
JISC was farsighted in identifying importance of cluster computing but could usefully do more to capitalize its investment in terms of a pro-active effort to aid deployment of this technology (especially low cost PC's) broadly.
This could involve coordinated CHEST purchases (site licenses) and should deliberately focus on just a few of software and hardware choices.
