Foil 6 Java and Parallel or Distributed Computing

From Introduction to Java to be used in (Scientific) Computing Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science CPS615 -- Fall Semester 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken
1 Web Software provides a high functionality but modest performance distributed computing environment based on either Web Servers or Clients
  • We will use servers for control as higher functionality than clients although currently less broadly deployed
  • Some "parallel" computing problems (e.g. embarrassingly parallel ones) can "immediately" use Web as a parallel engine with no performance enhancements
  • Applications like CFD can usually not run efficiently in parallel on distributed systems without careful software
2 Web Only addresses Integration of already decomposed parts!
