Foil 8 So what will we discuss?

From aJava Grande and Pragmatic Programming Environments Invited Talk at ISCOPE 98, Santa Fe -- Dec 10 98. by Geoffrey Fox


1 In general, we will try to couple scientific computing/HPCC to the POW heat bath
2 Majority of HPCC users (not perhaps ones at this conference) are still using unattractive programming environments with a programming model (explicit message passing) we thought crude 10 years ago
  • We have failed to deploy quality HPCC software as not enough money to build robust sophisticated software
3 POW can provide wonderful base distributed computing technology on which we can base much better HPCC software
  • Parallel computing is a special case of distributed computing with low latency and high bandwidth
4 In particular, we focus on Java as this is likely to be a significant part of POW and there are serious difficulties in using it as is!
5 First we think of a name for types of applications we wish to study
