So the equilibrated POW will exhibit the
-
Simplicity of XML (a Fortran Namelist done right)
-
Elegance of Java (Fortran done better and worse)
-
Performance of COM (Fortran Libraries done right)
-
Completeness of CORBA (Distributed file names done right)
|
|
It may or may not be owned by Microsoft ...
|
|
Note Java the language could survive while RMI is replaced by CORBA/XML servers (written in Java) using IIOP and HTTP-NG
|
Note that while the four stakeholders interact in the market heat bath
-
HPCC and Scientific Computing is still largely decoupled from marketplace and may not be able to benefit from the POW
-
Physics as we know it is a beautiful dying field ...
|
|
So my goal is to gift the benefits of POW to scientific computing and to rescue physics by merging it with computer science (this is my Internetics talk on another day)
