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 One can use "native classes" which is just a predownloaded library of optimized runtime routines which can be high performance compiled Java, C, C++, Fortran, HPF etc. modules invoked by interpreted or compiled Java
  • This does NOT violate Web Philosophy in our opinion!
2 Use Native Classes selectively for
  • Compiler Runtime, Matrix Primitives, Image Processing and other engineering/science libraries,
  • PDE primitives such as mesh generators,
  • optimization as needed in resource management or applications
