  1. MAPLD 2000 CONFERENCEWELCOME REMARKS GEORGE R. COTTER 26 September 2000

  2. Background - Technology Trends • The 90s - From a GigaFlop to a TeraFlop • A decade of intensive work • Significant Potential in Semiconductor Field (Moore’s Law) • Issues were Architecture and Software • The 00s - From a TeraFlop to a PetaFlop • Little Residual Potential in Semiconductor (CMOS) Field • Little or no Industry R&D to Offset Technology Lag • Software, Software, Software

  3. Background - Current State of HEC R&D • Core Systems-level, Industry-centric R&D, almost nil • Exceptions: • ASCI PathForward • NSA Systems, Architectures, Technologies • DARPA PIM R&D • Most Activities “On the margins” • Infrastructure related • Computational Science • Mission Specific • Not Industry-centric • Little Long-term Research • Exception is Significant Quantum Computing Effort
