Foil 6 Why use Java as the basis for HPCC/Scientific Computing Software?

From Use of Java Language in Computational Science DoD Modernization Users Group Conference Monterey -- June 7 99. by Nancy McCracken, Geoffrey C. Fox
1 HPCC is a small field and Scientific Computing a modest size field with limited resources for very hard problems and must leverage as much software as possible
2 Web Software provides an excellent pervasive user interface with Java Applets and WebWindows
3 Web Software provides a potentially excellent high performance object oriented language (Java) for scientific and engineering computation
4 All(!?) we need to do is to add high performance and special features of scientific computing (math libraries) to the Web!
5 Technology for generating parallelism (user decomposition, parallelizing compilers) not provided by web and must come from HPCC
