From Integration of Web and Distributed Object Technologies in a New Generation of Grande Programming Environments PDPTA Las Vegas -- June 28 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 We can use similar approaches to consider both seamless interfaces and metacomputing (broadly defined as linkage of multiple jobs simultaneously to address single problem)
  • We used to term use of object portal as HPcc (High Performance commodity computing)
2 Seamless Interfaces and Metacomputing are both services of a computing portal with metacomputing naturally building on top of seamless interfaces
  • seamless interface allows "one" job (maybe made up of multiple tasks) to run on many backend machines but ONE at a time!
