JavaOne Grande Vision I
We learnt from the Keynote talks that:
Parallel Computing (use of multiple CPU’s to address a single problem) is inevitable
- Year 2005, 100’s of Java CPU’s per chip to support immersive environments
- Simulations of physical world (weathe, aircraft, oil resevoir, cosmology) underlie virtual worlds
Today’s supercomputer is a window to capabilities of tomorrow’s desktop
We will see by 2005, One Million connected workstation’s, ?100? million connected consumer devices
- How can they be integrated?
Complexity prevents scaling of large systems
- Software and hardware
- Jini provides new model of fault tolerant dynamic system integration
