Foil 34 Proposed Java Computing Services Framework II

From Java Grande (a.k.a. Java for High Performance Computing) in a Nutshell Sun MicroSystems Java Day at CMU Pittsburgh -- Sept 26 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 A "Framework" is a set of Java Calls (mainly Interfaces and not methods) to capabilities expressed in implementation neutral form
  • e.g. JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is a universal interface to all relational databases
2 Drivers convert these general calls to vendor specific implementation of service
  • Java code can either be all on client (2-tier) or on client and middle tier (3 tier)
3 Requires agreement by "suitable interested parties" on
  • what are the services
  • what are the interfaces for a given service
4 Abstract ideas developed in Condor Globus Legion and PACE POEMS PetaSIM for harder problems (metacomputing / performance specification) and developed for seamless problem by Sweb (Cornell) WebSubmit (NIST) or UNICORE (Europe)
