Foil 65 What have we gained from all this?

From Integration of Information Technology and Computational Science in Education and Research Computer Science Seminar -- August 27 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Anything done at the middle tier uses commodity technologies and likely to be highly functional visual environment
  • So metacomputing extensions of HPCC will not as many think be difficult
We can take some services and move some or all of their capability to middle tier
  • visualization, scheduling, collaboration, application integration -- anything "coarse grain"
We can view parallel computing as a special case of distributed computing and generate more attractive parallel computing development environments
HPF HPJava HPC++ compilers and issues of decomposition and fine grain synchronization remain at backend and a focus of HPCC specific work
