<Comments by numerous people about VM, supercomputers, scientific
codes by Giles, Ballard, and Crazy Glue>
Passing Denning's office last Friday, I received an ear full about
this (more than I wanted as I have work to do, but I listen to Peter
now, and not when we go hiking).
His comments in summary: actually, there is more locally in programs
than most people think. Peter cites several studies by IBM and others
on large codes. BUT he believes the important thing, worth a PhD
thesis, is for someone to go take these scientific codes and rerun them
on existing CPUs to validate rather than create more hot air.
Time for critics to stop talking and experiment.
He also offered to send the text of his American Scientist article on
VM, but I declined stating the first article should have been enough and
others can find it in the library. (Also we want to be careful of
other copyrights.)
