INVISIBLE PARALLEL PROCESSING A GOAL FOR HEP
1996
Computing in High Energy Physics '95
Preserved Fulltext
In general, current and previous HEP parallel processing has been constrained to specialized hardware and software written or designed for HEP. ...
The parallelism in both design and implementation is explicit. Future parallel processing will be implicit, inherent in the design, and essentially invisible to the user. ...
HEP has progressed from specialized hardware and home grown software(as exemplied by the ACP project 9 ) to more general purpose hardware(e.g. workstations and ethernet) and public domain or commercial ...
