Metacomputer is same as a computational grid
|
I will describe NPAC projects somewhat tomorrow
|
Web based Metacomputing has two related manifestations
-
Using the web as the grid
-
Using distributed object and Web technologies as basis of metacomputing software
|
This can be extended to using metacomputing technology (hardware and software) as basis of parallel computing software
-
motivated by parallel computing being 1% market
|
15 or so years ago parallel computing had a clear application driver for increased performance
|
Is metacomputing user or technology driven?
