Supercomputers: Challenges to designers and users
Abstract
SESSION OVERVIEW: The objective of this panel is to present and discuss issues concerned with the development and use of present and future supercomputers for large-scale scientific and engineering problems. Presentations by each of four panelists will be followed by a question and answer session with audience participation. Below some brief background information is given on the subject matter along with a list of several topics that will be addressed. Also included is a bibliography to help the reader become acquainted with the many aspects of the session theme.
