Foil 12 Java Server versus HP level - I

From Possible Java Frameworks for Computing Visit to Sun and JavaSoft -- Friday 13, June 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski
Note JDBC (Java Database Connection) links clients to servers at natural (sequential) SQL query and database connection level
  • This is at server not high performance level
  • parallel database invoked transparently if implemented by server
CORBA is similar except parallel CORBA still needs to be understood!
  • Only at server level so far with JavaIDL
Suggest Java Compute Framework similarly defines interfaces to distributed computing level
  • Drop down to HPCC if and only if necessary
