Foil 6 Why use the Web as basis for HPCC Software?

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) General Research -- June-December 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


HPCC is a small field with limited resources for a very hard problem and must leverage as much software as possible
Web Software provides an excellent pervasive user interface with Java Applets and WebWindows
Web Software provides a potentially excellent high performance object oriented language (Java) for scientific and engineering computation
Web Software provides a high functionality but modest performance distributed computing environment based on either Web Servers or Clients
  • We will choose to use servers as higher functionality than clients although currently less broadly deployed
  • Only addresses Integration of already decomposed parts!
All(!?) we need to do is to add high performance to the Web!
