Foil 2 Java and Future HPCC Abstract

From And the Future is ........: The Use of Java and the Web in Scientific Computing Hefei Computational Science and Beijing Web Tutorial -- May 27 and 30 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

1 The talk starts with an overview of NPAC and a description of our CPSWT CDROM with Chinese translation of Computational Science courseware
2 We then describe 3 major areas where Java (and other Web Technologies) can have significant impact
3 1) Java can be used to build user Interfaces and here we describe the Virtual Programming Laboratory VPL
4 2) Java can support coarse grain integration and metacomputing
  • Here we describe both WebFlow (AVS on the web) and Tango (a Java Collaboratory)
  • Both Computational Steering and "Forces Modelling" seem naturally implemented with this technology
5 3) Java as a traditional compiled language for computational kernels
  • The latter discussion included details on parallel Java
6 We show how this allows one to build integrated Interpreted and Compiled Environments
