Abstract

The Distributed and High Performance Computing Group was formed in 1997 in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Adelaide in South Australia. The group had its origins in the Distributed High Performance Computing Project funded under the Australia Commonwealth Governments Research Data Networks Cooperative Research Centre but has since gone on to become an international collaboration between Adelaide University and the University of Wales at Bangor.

This note is a reflective summary of the activities in distributed and high performance computing over the last few years of the millenium as embodied in the first one hundred technical reports of the group.

In the period described the group carried out work on broadband networks; metacomputing; on line data archives; middleware; cluster computing systems; problem solving environments; and various applications. We now look ahead to the next millenium and the challenging problems in distributed systems that are being posed by computational grid systems and electronic commerce applications.
