Foil 59 Minimal Web based Multidisciplinary Application

From Java Grande: Role of Java in Large Scale Computations NPACI Summer Institute on Parallel Computing -- August 21 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


This combines TANGO for collaboration with WebFlow to link server side applications
If necessary WebFlow could support high performance inter-module communication as in structures-CFD Linkage example but it would always implement control at middle tier and this allows TANGO integration with server side computation
  • This illustrates why we keep control at tier 2 so adding collaboration does not disturb high performance layer
WebFlow communication model is a dynamic dataflow
Of course other server side compute models are possible and in general need (web-linked) data bases, file systems, object brokers etc.,
On client one can share tools such as CAD systems like CATIA or AUTOCAD so Tango interfaces with API to these system and drives "slaves" from state extracted from linkage to master.
