Towards High Performance CORBA
If the current Object Web program succeeds, IIOP will become a ‘cosmic’ message passing protocol
In HPCC domain, people are typically using low level high performance communication packages such as PVM, MPI or Nexus and they consider CORBA/IIOP as not very useful as too low performance
However, it seems possible and natural to build High Performance CORBA support by providing dedicated HP-ORB that offers optimized IIOP on top of Nexus
The resulting HP-CORBA (see next slide) offers an interesting paradigm for new Web based HPCC
