Foil 4 Java Grande Process: Approach and Activities

From Java Grande (a.k.a. Java for High Performance Computing) in a Nutshell Sun MicroSystems Java Day at MIT (Marriot Hotel Cambridge MA) -- Sept 25 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
We have had several conferences with 50---- attendees
  • Syracuse December 96
  • Las Vegas June 97
  • Palo Alto February 98
  • Southampton (Europe) September 98
  • Next one just before JavaOne next year (March 99)
Topics of conference papers:
  • Applications; algorithms; benchmarking; compilers; Java-based programming tools; parallel computing (tightly coupled) and high performance distributed computing
"Spun off" Java Grande forum to promote needed community standards and activities.
Must be proactive because Grande computer market is perhaps 1% of total computing market -- not Sun's highest priority
