Title High Performance Computing Considered Harmful
University of Toronto, Department of Computer Science
For more than forty years, discussion of scientific computing has been dominated by a minority who equate it with high performance computing. The result is a culture in which productivity is low, project failure rates are high, and quality is usually unknown. This talk examines how this situation arose, why it persists, and what can be done to fix it.
