HPSIN (High Performance Software Integration) project
addresses several R&D issues related to HPCC software integration.
We develop a modular, interactive and portable environment to facilitate
software engineering, application development, GUI design and system
integration for Interactive HPCC.
Our current focus is on integrating emergent HPCC software standards
into an interactive operating environment offered by the
MOVIE
System at NPAC. Our prototype
HPFI
and new HPSIN modules under development such as
HPANDF or
HPCGS
are aimed at providing the bridge between HPCC back-ends and interactive
multisensory multiuser front-ends such as Multimedia and
Virtual Reality
.
The whole system evolves towards a
Televirtuality
server model, to be prototyped on NPAC metacomputer.
