Foil 23 What should you do as a Java Grande believer?

From Java Grande (a.k.a. Java for High Performance Computing) in a Nutshell Sun MicroSystems Java Day at CMU Pittsburgh -- Sept 26 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Don't need to rewrite existing codes in Java!
  • Rather use Java freely at client and "gateway" tier
  • Wrap existing codes as CORBA or Java distributed objects
Conduct suitable experiments in using Java in complete Grande applications
Make certain your interests are represented in Java Grande Forum
Does this change research agenda? (different types of compilers, service-based architectures, re-use commodity technologies -- don't roll your own with federal funds ...)
Retrain your staff in Java Web and distributed object technologies
Put "High Performance Grande Forum compliant" Java support into your RFP's for hardware and software
