Foil 6 JavaOne Grande Vision II

From Overview of Java Grande Forum JavaOne Birds of a Feather on Java Grande San Francisco -- June 16 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


What can we learn from current Grande experience?
  • Hardware architectures
  • Modest but important changes in core Java Infrastructure
Current Grande techniques teach us algorithmic requirements such as the nifty sorting algorithms but only how to scale to 1000's of processes in controlled environments
  • Need major changes in Grande techniques and very different implementations
New programming models i.e. new Java Grande framework requires merging and modifying Java and Grande ideas
Java Grande Forum is bringing two communities together to address near term and future issues to enable scalable world wide Java VM
