            PLANNING FOR PARALLEL SUPERCOMPUTERS

In order to solve problems a thousand times faster than they
can be solved on current supercomputers, you can either wait
a long time until serial  or  vector  computers  attain  the
required  speed, or you can use a parallel computer.  Unfor-
tunately, there are several problems  that  must  be  solved
before  massively  parallel  supercomputers  become a useful
reality.  This talk examines some of these  problems,  based
on  a  workshop  convened  this summer by the Supercomputing
Research Center (SRC).  The SRC is a recent offshoot of  the
National Security Agency, and was given a mandate to conduct
wide ranging, fundamental, intensive research in the area of
parallel  computing.   The  summer workshop was held to help
the SRC develop a plan of research for its first few years.
