      The high-performance computing community has seen a steady procession of different parallel computing architectures. For large application codes, the time required to change from sequential algorithms to parallel algorithms, or even change between parallel algorithms for different architectures is longer that the lifetime of individual parallel computers. Smooth transition strategies will be described which overcome this challenge, and the parallel machine characteristics defined which make these transition strategies possible.
