The Phoenix Project
Pages 12 - 15
Abstract
The Phoenix Project was an exploration of the issues surrounding large scale scientific computing. It was conducted at the Institute for Advanced Computation, NASA-Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California from 1975 to 1979. The primary results of the project were a sizing of the likely needs of large scale scientific computing during the 1980s, what computing technology could be available to meet those needs, a conceptual design of a processor that could meet those needs, and a programming, language suitable for use by this community on a parallel processor such as the one proposed.
