Overview of HPCC Applications in Industry

This presentation was prepared for a talk by Geoffrey Fox at the Institute of Defense Analysis on Halloween Day 1994. It describes a classification and analysis of possible defense and industrial applications of HPCC and parallel computers in particular. This is based on a survey of New York State Industry conducted by the ACTION (forerunner of InfoMall) project of Syracuse University with New York State funding. Later results from the NYNET project with especially Rome Laboratory and NYNEX are included.
