Abstract
We review possible and probable industrial applications of HPCC focusing on the software and hardware issues. Thirty-three separate categories are illustrated by detailed descriptions of five areas---computational chemistry; Monte Carlo methods from physics to economics; manufacturing, and computational fluid dynamics; command and control, or crisis management; and multimedia services to client computers and settop boxes. The hardware varies from tightly-coupled parallel supercomputers to heterogeneous distributed systems. The software models span HPF and data parallelism, to distributed information systems and object/dataflow parallelism on the Web. We find that in each case, it is reasonably clear that "HPCC works in principle," and postulate that this knowledge can be used in a new generation of software infrastructure based on the WebWindows approach, and discussed in an accompanying paper. 1 Introduction This paper could be viewed as a feasibility study for the success and viabil...
