Abstract

Historically, the development of applications on the Illiac IV have gone through four phases. The first of these occurred in the period from early 1973 until November 1975. In this phase prior to the Illiac becoming operational a wide variety of application code development projects were undertaken. Many of these were performed by university and private sector personnel under contract to NASA or DARPA. The computational fluid dynamics work performed by the staff of the Ames Research Center CFD Branch is the notable exception. Generally the work was done remotely over the ARPANET communication system. In retrospect the marvel is that not all of these projects failed. The Illiac was not ready; it was down almost all of the time and when it was available, arithmetic errors without diagnostics were rampant.
