Foil 6 Structure(Architecture) of Applications - I

From Commodity(Web) Technologies in the service of Computational Grids Argonne Workshop on Computational Grids -- 7-10 Sept 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Applications are metaproblems with a mix of module and data parallelism
  • As discussed in Parallel Computing Works! (Morgan Kaufmann .....)
2 Modules are decomposed into parts (data parallelism) and composed hierarchically into full applications.They can be the
  • "10,000" separate programs (e.g. structures,CFD ..) used in design of aircraft
  • the various filters used in Khoros based image processing system
  • the ocean-atmosphere components in CASA project
  • The data-base or file system access of a data-intensive application
  • the objects in a distributed Forces Modeling Event Driven Simulation
