Foil 25 Opportunities in HPCC - II?

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 Parallel Java is inevitable and indeed Java will replace Fortran and C++ in general scientific computing
  • We have evaluated what it takes to produce Java interfaces (wrappers) to existing libraries and will deliver this on compiler runtime (see Java-MPI at our Web Site)
2 The (commercial) Web itself will lead to "coarse grain software integration" in AVS like data flow environments
  • This will implement metacomputing with a rather different model than before
  • Link mobile Web modules rather than decomposing problems
3 Web Collaboration technology can revolutionize computational steering
  • Java Servers will link Instruments, People, Computers
