HPcc: High Performance Commodity Computing
A new strategy which builds HPCC programming tools on top of the remarkable new software infrastructure being developed for the commercial web and distributed object areas.
This leverage of a huge industry investment naturally delivers tools with the desired properties with the one (albeit critical) exception that high performance is not guaranteed.
We add high performance to commodity systems using a multi-tier architecture with GLOBUS metacomputing toolkit as the backend of a middle-tier of commodity web and object servers.
