Foil 2 Goals

From The Gateway system: Desktop Access to High Performance Computational Resources HPDC8 IEEE Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing Redondo Beach Ca -- August 3-6,1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
To provide a problem-oriented interface (a Web portal) to more effectively utilize HPC resources from the desktop via the Web browser.
This "point & click" view hides the underlying complexities and details of the HPC resources and creates a seamless interface between the user's problem description on his/her desktop system and the heterogeneous computing resources
These HPC resources include supercomputers, mass storage systems, databases, workstation clusters, collaborative tools, and visualization servers.
