Abstract
By its very nature, the spectrum of computational problems approached in the behavioral sciences necessitates the use of almost all elements of high-performance computing and communication. The salient performa nce issues of various components-networking, disk and tape storage, me mory-processor configurations, and processing elements-are discussed. Hardware, software, and application issues surrounding parallel comput ing performance are also discussed.
