This course will allow the student to understand how multiple processor systems will change
the landscape over the next decade. In October 2006, dual processor computers were
common on the store shelves. Quad processors are announced and coming soon. The Sony
Play Station 3 is being sold and uses an 8 processor core developed by IBM.

Microsoft offers Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003
"Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 (CCS) brings the supercomputing power of
high-performance computing (HPC) to the desktop and workgroup level in a familiar
Windows-based development environment. CCS accelerates time-to-insight by providing an
HPC platform that is easy to deploy, operate, and integrate with existing infrastructure and
tools."
