Abstract
The continued development of high-performance low-cost computing systems, the Miniframe, is having a significant impact on the scientific computing marketplace. The purpose of this paper is to
-
describe the characteristics of the Miniframe
-
describe the role of Miniframes in distributed computing
-
compare the cost/performance of Miniframes with present mainframes
-
address the inevitability of changes to the present computer organizational structure and consider the new burdens that will be imposed on engineering management.
