One Strategy for a Web-based Computational Grid
Web Software provides a high functionality but modest performance distributed computing environment based on either Web Servers or Clients
Here we explore an architecture using servers for control as higher functionality than clients although currently less broadly deployed
- Some “parallel” computing problems (e.g. embarrassingly parallel ones) can “immediately” use Web as a parallel engine with no performance enhancements
Web Only addresses Integration of already decomposed parts!
- Inherit and extend decomposition (data-parallel) technology from HPCC (parallel compiler and library technology)
- Compose / Integrate Modules with Web Technology
- Inherit all the pervasive (not high performance) services from the Web
