Metacomputing in the Future
Hardware Trends (5 - 10 Years)
Software
Very Hard to Predict in relatively short term - JAVA has been
product for about a year !!
- Ubiquitous and pervasive (WWW/JAVA-like).
- Can forget about underlying h/w and OS.
- Metacomputing “plug-ins”
- Micro-kernel-like JAVA based servers with add-on services that can support Metacomputing (load balancing, migration, checkpointing, etc...).
