Abstract
Computing on the Web
We look to the year 2007 when central parallel processors will have
Petaop (1015 operations per second) performance,
the deployed national information infrastructure or Web could have a
distributed Exaop (1018 operations per second)
and kids will come to university fluent in Java and intolerant of
earlier approaches. These trends will offer new opportunities for
high-performance simulations with more attractive programming
environments.
