Foil 16 How are Objects Used Collaboratively?

From Distributed Objects for GEM General Earthquake Simulation Project Meeting JPL Pasadena -- April 22 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Some sort of activity involves interactions between objects and/or objects and individuals (which can be thought of as objects as well if you want)
Interaction can be synchronous as when individuals talk to each other; parallel program components exchange MPI messages
  • Objects or object properties are shared at same time
Or asynchronous when sharing is done at different times
I post a web page and you look at it later is basic asynchronous sharing model while writing on a blackboard is hallowed synchronous model in teaching
  • other areas are similar
