Excerpt from 1991 Director's Report: Division of Computer Research and TechnologyOur parallel computing capacity has grown from 16 to 64 to 128 i860 processors, each one nearly as powerful - in terms of megaflops - as a mainframe computer. Within a few years, we expect to have computers with thousands of processors in parallel, making it possible to attack problems that could only have been dreamed of years ago. At present, dcrt is the only nih component with active ongoing research using this rapidly evolving technology. We shall provide leadership in this revolutionary new field, making it available to all of the other Institutes, Centers, and Divisions. Working together with the National Library of Medicine, the National Center for Research Resources and the National Cancer Institute's Advanced Scientific Computing Laboratory, we have developed a detailed plan for high - performance computing. This activity is likely to provide a new source of funding, and facilitates our collaboration, cooperation, and communication with other government agencies, including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
