In a continuing effort to build faster computers, today's hardware architectural designers have turned to Multi-Instruction/Multi-Data machines (MIMDs) in order to achieve significant increases in capability. This paper represents the view of some potential users of such architectures. The authors call for consideration of a total Supercomputing Environment in order to meet the application needs of the future. Much research is needed soon in order to properly provide such a balanced environment.
