Kunz, P F

This talk has three distinct parts. The first two parts are on vector and parallel processing and their success, or lack thereof for HEP. The third part is an analysis on the software situation in HEP. These topics have been chosen because of the frequency with which they are discussed in the hallways of our laboratories and institutions. This review looks at the field from a particular point of view: that of an experimental physicist working with a large detector at a collider and, in addition, only considers the offline processing aspects of the field. 7 refs., 7 figs.
