Foil 79 Using Java for Scientific Computing

From Java Language in the Computer Science Curriculum ADMI Tutorial Duluth Minnesota -- June 3 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


HPCC is a small field and Scientific Computing a modest size field with limited resources for very hard problems and must leverage as much software as possible
Web Software provides an excellent pervasive user interface with Java Applets and WebWindows
Web Software provides a potentially excellent high performance object oriented language (Java) for scientific and engineering computation
All(!?) we need to do is to add high performance and special features of scientific computing (math libraries) to the Web!
Technology for generating parallelism (user decomposition, parallelizing compilers) not provided by web and must come from HPCC
