Software and System Issues in use of Optical Interconnects in MPPs

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at MPPOI 95 Conference on 24 October 95. Foils prepared 10 November 1995

This talk stresses that main opportunity for optical interconnects in HPCC is in MIMD systems varying from the full National Information Infrastructure to a tightly coupled (petaflop) MPP
We describe the WebWork project at NPAC, Cooperating Systems and Boston University which is studying use of Web Software Technology to integrate these two limits

This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
