The Second International Workshop on Software Quality Improvement
was held in Kyoto, Japan, from 22-24 January 1990. The workshop was
jointly organized by Professor Torii (Osaka University) and
Professor Basili (University of Maryland). The workshop is
summarized from the perspective of a numerical analyst. The major
conclusions are that some Japanese companies are better at managing
the software development process than comparable U.S. companies and
that more interaction is needed between numerical and nonnumerical
software developers.

The PAX parallel processing project developed at the University of
Tsukuba by T. Hoshino is summarized. PAX is a two dimensional array
of processors which operate in MIMD form. QCDPAX has a fast floating
point unit, specially programmed for QCD calculations. Peak
performance is 12.5 Gigaflops.

The IBM Tokyo Numerically Intensive Computation Center is reviewed.
This center mainly supports users who wish to develop vectorized
versions of programs on IBM's 3090 VF computers. The Tokyo Research
Laboratory performs longer term research in computer science,
mathematics, graphics, and languages.

A proposed new MITI national project "New Information Processing
Technology" (NIPT) merging soft information processing with massive
parallelism is described. The proposed project is also compared to
related work in other countries. I am told that the project, in some
form, has a good chance of being supported in the near future.

A visit to the Data Flow project at ETL is summarized. The Dataflow
SIGMA-1 computer project is ending. The new project EM-4, will have
1,024 processors and is designed to have less overhead. EM-4 was
originally proposed for symbolic rather than numeric computation,
but the designers now feel that with the inclusion of floating point
hardware it will also be used for numerical computation. Currently
an 80 processor version of EM-4 is running at 997 MIPs.
