Inevitable Relevance of the Object Web
Any large scale metacomputing/distributed computing environment will be shaped by and shape all 5 classes of applications on previous foil
Even if only aimed at high end applications, the system will be influenced by and influence the “Object Web” or “commodity software infrastructure” which is here defined as “mass-market”/business IntraNet (low to low) use of Internet/distributed Information System
Parallel Computing systems can be viewed as a special case of a Metacomputer
- Perhaps one will need a stripped production environment for highest performance but
- best program development environment is likely to be based on commodity technologies as can leverage and track wonderful software aimed at broad based distributed computing
