I think it reasonable to allow *some* flexibility, perhaps in the form of
two parallel hierarchies (e.g. one politico-geographical and one
functional).  However, I disagree with allowing people to use any
"guidelines" they wish, because:

  1) It should be easy to remember or look for site addresses; if there
     are more than two conceptual namespaces in which to search, this
     becomes quite difficult.

  2) The whole reason the namespace is hierarchical is to facilitate its
     administration by having domains delegate responsibility for
     subdomains.  This becomes impractical if subdomains exist which have
     only one member.  If Stuart's site is wimsey.v3h.ca, but no one else
     in that area likes to use postal codes, why should anyone agree to
     maintain subdomain v3h?

  3) If we allow a very large number of sets of "guidelines", we will in
     effect have no guidelines; the namespace will in effect be flat
     under ca, but we will have lots of artificial one-member subdomains.
     That would be the worst of all possible worlds.

I appreciate that this was used as an example, but I'd really like
to ask people to be careful when using existing registrations to
illustrate points they're trying to make.  In this particular case,
XeniTec does indeed have a registered subdomain, correctly reading:
		xenitec.on.ca

When an existing registration doesn't lend itself as the desired
example, I'd suggest either picking a more appropriate one, or
illustrate generically,
		org.locality.prov.ca

The intention is to ensure that no one becomes confused as to what
a particular subdomain might be in reality.

This is interesting. My username is "003316g" and I will recieve mail at
"003316g@dragon.acadiau.ca". However I can also be reached using my name
at "steve.gregory@acadiau.ca". Notice that the server name "dragon" is
ommited, instead only the universities name is used. I'm nor too sure
however how well this works off campus. ( could explain why I haven't
received that much mail lately )

As an experiment could someone e-mail me two messages. One addressed to
"003316g@dragon.acadiau.ca" and one addressed "steve.gregory@acadiau.ca".
Thanks.

I've wondered for some time why Canada chose not to adopt the organizational
subdomain system in use in countries such as the UK, Australia, Taiwan,
New Zealand, South Africa, Austria, and even, as a domain, in the US. By this
I mean 'ac.uk', 'edu.tw', 'ac.za', 'co.uk', 'gen.nz', etc. I've noticed that
a couple of sites in B.C. and one, I believe, in Ontario, voluntarily use
'gov.bc.ca' and 'gov.on.ca' -- why not nationwide? 

Just curious!

A client is soon going to lose warranty coverage on their Everex

service organizations that do on-site service.

I know that Bell Tech, which used to be one of the bigger companies in
this field, was either bought by another company or changed its name. I
have also heard that Bull and Olivetti also do third-party service work.

Any recommendations? Any horror stories?

Gantt charts are used for project management.  They are horizontal bar 
charts with tasks on the y axis and time across the bottom.

Wash:    xxxxxxxxxxx  
Dry:          xxxxxxxxxxxxx

That one is for when I do two loads of laundry with one washer and dryer.

Never seen a program to do this for Unix.  Lots for the PC and Mainframes
though.  Timeline, Microsoft Project and Primavera spring to mind.

Cheers,

Tris.

So there I was, trying to explain to this mainframe/Cobol type fellow
who had come in from Italy, what Usenet is.

In the midst of this, I mentioned that it was commonplace for people to
ask their local community, using this network, computer-related
questions.

So he gave me one.

Does anyone here know what a Gant diagram is? And has anyone seen any

Also the format is different.  Anyway here is the R4 version.  I am posting

David J. Kuck, Professor 
Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering
Center for Supercomputing Research and Development
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign


	 "Cedar, Parallel Processing and the Greatest Grand Challenge"


Thursday, January 14
College of Computing, Room 17
3:30 p.m. -- Reception, 4:00 p.m. -- Lecture


Abstract

The key question about the future of supercomputing is not whether
parallelism will be used but how it will be used.  Parallelism is necessary
because the increase in the fastest machine clock speeds over the past few
decades is leveling off.  After years of debate, the Federal High
Performance Computing and Communications Initiative has now been launched. 
While HPCCI has focused much attention on parallel computing of Grand
Challenge applications, it has also promised performance improvements that
seem unachievable.

The Greatest Grand Challenge (GGC) is to design parallel computing systems
that can continue to produce speed increases into the indefinite future,
through parallelism rather than clock speed advances.  To deliver high
parallel system performance, we need well-designed algorithms, system
software, and compatible architectures.  Much work is needed in performance
evaluation and the use of performance results in system design.  The talk
will survey system performance issues and give real machine results using
the Perfect codes as well as examples from the Cedar system.

Bio
 
David J. Kuck is a Professor of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he has
been a faculty member since 1965.  From 1984 to 1992, he was Director of the
Center for Supercomputing Research and Development, which he organized in
1984.  He founded Kuck and Associates, Inc., Champaign, IL, in 1979 and is
Chairman of the Board of Directors.  He is currently engaged in the
development and refinement of the Cedar parallel processing system and, in
general, in theoretical and empirical studies of various machine and
software organization problems, including parallel, pipeline and
multiprocessor computation methods, interconnection networks, memory
hierarchies, and the compilation of ordinary programs for parallel machines. 
Dr. Kuck received a B.S.E.E. in 1959 from the University of Michigan and a
Ph.D from Northwestern University in 1963.  He is a Fellow of IEEE and AAAS
and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
