Good presentations by users from industry, a lot of equipment in a small area, plenty of lively discussions on parallel processing. I was especially encouraged by the progress in mass storage systems. We need Terabytes near-line with 10 MB/s transfer rates, 100 Gbytes on-line with 100 MB/s rates. Products are now showing up that can deliver these rates. The panel discussion featuring top executives from Cray, Convex, Intel, and NCube was especially illuminating. Everybody's talking MPP. Good news for us users. -- ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7-- | Chuck Mosher | Internet : ccm@arco.com | Who needs an editor | | ARCO, Plano, TX | Telephone: (214)754-6468 | when you have ISPF? | ************************************************************************
