Some Current Unmet Needs<br />

Performance / Portability<br />

Fault tolerance<br />

Better programming mo<strong>del</strong>s<br />

- Global shared <strong>ad</strong>dress space<br />

- Visible locality<br />

Maybe coming soon (since incremental, yet offering real benefits):<br />

- Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages:<br />

. “Minor” extensions to existing languages<br />

. More convenient than MPI<br />

. Have performance transparency via explicit remote memory references<br />

The critical cycle of prototyping, assessment, and commercialization must be a<br />

long-term, sustaining investment, not a one time, crash program.<br />
