Foil 56 HP-CORBA - I

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


Now consider how to make the Object Web High performance.
In the object domain we propose the extension HP-CORBA of the CORBA model for the HPCC domain by developing a minimal high performance ORB on top of MPI/Nexus.
Such HP-ORBlets, residing in the individual nodes of a parallel system (either as network daemons or as runtime libraries) would allow one to hide explicit message passing calls in terms of higher level more user-friendly remote object invocations.
  • These are decomposed data parallel parts on tier 3 invoked from tier 1
HP-ORBlets would focus on high performance data/method communication support, whereas the lower bandwidth control communication would be passed to and handled by the full functionality lower performance commercial ORBs in the CORBA bus in the middleware layer.
