Ideas from HPCC research Good!
|
| 2 |
Not enough people/funding in field to implement robust production systems
|
| 3 |
Must re-use as much software (including infrastructure software) as possible
|
| 4 |
Similarly must build HPCC software in a modular fashion with small enough modules that smallish groups can build effectively
|
| 5 |
Different modules are likely to use different base technologies (Fortran v Java v C++ etc.) and so interoperability essential!
|
| 6 |
No silver bullet on the horizon - maybe pessimistic but implies better HPCC environments implies better implementations of existing ideas.
|
| 7 |
Need to support both production use of MPP's and "rapid prototyping" in development of new applications - latter is not well supported by current HPCC software systems even though need parallel support for prototyping of new 3D simulations
