Foil 44 Why is it hard to use HPCC in Manufacturing-II?

From Programming Paradigms A CRPC/MCNC Workshop -- April 10-13 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 In March 1994 Arpa Meeting in Washington, Boeing(Neves) endorsed parallel databases and not parallel simulation
  • Similar comment made to me by Major Brokerage
    • "Financial Modelling (on MPP) gets the headlines but information services are the critical problem"
2 Aerospace Engineers are just like University Faculty
  • They prefer to use their own workstations and not central Supercomputers
3 There is perhaps some general decline of Supercomputer Industry
  • As performance of technology increases
  • Users don't take full advantage of this performance Increase
    • Rather buy somewhat more powerful computers at somewhat lower cost
