The following figure illustrates a possible CORBA-HPCC integration framework ( HPCORBA ) |
Each node of a parallel machine runs a lightweight (e.g. Nexus based ) ORBlet which enables both local and remote object services. |
Coming CORBA3/MOM based messaging and object-by-value frameworks adapted to provide high-performance (e.g. MPI based) object-oriented (IIOP based) inter-node communication. |
Parallel Computation graphs are represented by Interface Definition Language (IDL) in a language independent way and optimized by parallel compiler technologies. |
Specific language bindings would result in HPF, HPC++ or HPJava implementations. |
This framework provides interoperability with the emergent Object Web software industry and offers an elegant solution for scalable parallel I/O ( linking HPCORBA with Oracle CORBA ) |
