Problems Encountered
Not one area of science but many
All the areas covered were:
- poorly developed due to neglect of the new opportunities created by HPC
- porting usually involved re-designing serial algorithms to be parrallel in a coarsely grained way rather than code translation
Lack of resources and of support from ESRC
- in practice this amounted to 2 people (Stan and Ian), 10 other academics from Geography and Computer Studies, and about 8 postgraduates
