Then and Now: How parallel computing has changed since 1979.
I will present an outline of the history of parallel computing since 1979. The talk will focus on the evolution of machine organization, languages, compilers, and applications. The presentation will be based on a project that Robert Kuhn and I initiated a few weeks ago to commemorate the Tutorial on Parallel Processing that we put together and IEEE Press printed in 1979. Robert Kuhn and I were PhD students of David Kuck and he encouraged us to create the tutorial.
