Foil 62 Metacomputing and Portals

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
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)
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!
