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


An HPCC Software Industry is essential if HPCC field is to become commercially succesful
The HPCC Simulation market is small
This market is not used to paying true cost for software
  • As cost traditionally bundled with hardware and one can get
  • Federal Grants to develop software yourself ....
There is a lot of excellent available public domain software (funded by federal government)
Small Businesses are natural implementation of HPCC Software Industry
  • Plenty of talented Entrepreneurs
Two InfoMall Success Stories
  • Portland Group: Commercializing High Performance Fortran Compiler developed at NPAC. We are not competing with them but adding value
  • Applied Parallel Technologies:Developing with NIST ATP and Venture Capital portable database exploitation tools
    • NPAC provides HPCC facilities, expertise and contact with best of class international software activities
