Foil 22 Comments on GrandeGateway

From Seamless Interfaces, Multi-Tier Gateway Systems, Comments on Sandia DRM Design Analysis of ASCI DRM Design -- August 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


1 The following diagram illustrates features of the "gateway concept"
2 The hardware to support gateway may be different from that natural for HPCC backends
  • typical would be "corporate enterprise servers" such as high-end Unix (SUN, Linux?) servers or PC NT systems
3 Several services would be controlled in "GrandeGateway" -- we illustrate this for collaboration which would allow sharing of information from clients and also backend Super(Grande) computers represented by proxies (e.g. Java or CORBA wrappers) at this level
  • Tango supports user-consultant and multi-user interactions
  • Habanero would show same logical diagram as Tango
4 There is no clean 1:1 mapping of hardware and software tiers
  • For instance a "logically backend" Oracle database could be hosted on the same SUN Enterprise server running Java servers supporting collaboration, access and other services
