Parallel Processing - Today and Tomorrow

Abstract
A review of experience at CERN and elsewhere with Parallel
Processing covering different Programming Models and current
applications and platforms, will be followed by an attempt
to make some predictions about the future of parallel processing
in HEP and some suggestions to facilitate the deployment
and utilisation of large numbers of "cheap" commodity
processors.
The talk covers work in progress and current applications
as well as ideas for future development.
