[Beowulf] Rant on why HPC isn't as easy as I'd like it to be.

[ascheinine at acm.org]

A few years ago I wrote a summary of software for supercomputing
with a focus on near-future developments.  The Dept. of Energy had
a new round of funding for libraries and frameworks for supercomputers.
The description of the projects sounded like they could be flexible
and efficient w.r.t. computer architecture and the hardware implementation,
and various tools could be integrated.  In my limited experience I did
not see this ideal universe arise.
