A WWW Based Computing Project Undertaken at NPAC
|
|
In collaboration with Boston University and Cooperating Systems NPAC has been developing concepts and prototypes of "Compute-Webs" over the last year.
|
|
This work is partly motivated by the integration of information processing and computation for both a better programming environment and for a natural support of data intensive computing.
|
|
Further the Web itself represents the largest available computer with worldwide some 20 million potential nodes which is expected to grow by a factor of 10 as the Information Superhighway is deployed fully.
