Variety of Foils Used Starting January 97

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at General on 1997. Foils prepared 26 January 97

This uses material from Paul Smith and Peter Kogge as well as Fox
We describe the "National PetaFlop Study(s)" and what you can expect with or without a specific initiative
We discuss traditional, Processor in Memory, Superconducting, Special Purpose architectures as well as future Quantum Computers!
We survey possible applications, new needs and opportunities for software as well as the technologies and designs for new machines one can expect in the year 2007!
We review findings of studies and structure of a possible initiative


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