Foil 104 Comparison of HPCC and JNAC - I

From Variety of Foils Used Starting January 97 General -- 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

Both set a hardware goal (teraflop for HPCC and petaflop for JNAC) to focus activity but in each case systems and applications were main justification
Both couple applications with software and architectures in multidisciplinary teams with multi-agency support
HPCC was dominantly research
  • JNAC is roughly 50-50 research and development
HPCC inevitably developed MPP's and transferred parallel computing to computing mainstream
  • JNAC's challenge is memory hierarchy and will transfer understanding of this to mainstream independent of parallelism
