Foil 2 Abstract of Commodity Technologies in HPCC for China

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Beijing -- 28 Dec 97 to 5 Jan 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 We discuss role of commodity (Web) technologies in future high performance computing environments
2 We describe how a network of Web/CORBA/COM servers architecture can naturally support both parallel and distributed computing while
3 We describe applications to both metacomputing, and parallel computing
4 We suggest critical importance of CORBA and component based software in HPCC -- Javabeans seem very important
5 We recommend agreement on standard interfaces or frameworks for computing and essentially seamless user interfaces
6 We describe role of collaboration technology in linking computers with people
7 We describe use of Java as a general coding language for scientific and engineering computation
8 This approach unifies distributed event driven simulations with classic massively parallel time stepped computations
