Status of HPCC in USA and HPCC based on Commodity Technologies
Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Beijing and Chang Sha China on 28 Dec 97 to 5 Jan 98. Foils prepared 8 January 98
|
We describe some aspects of HPCC in USA and in particular the new NCSA computational alliance and the proposed petaflop initiative
|
|
We discuss role of commodity (Web) technologies in future high performance computing environments
|
|
We describe how a network of Web/CORBA/COM servers architecture can naturally support both parallel and distributed computing while
|
|
We describe applications to both metacomputing, and parallel computing
|
|
We suggest critical importance of CORBA and component based software in HPCC -- Javabeans seem very important
|
|
We describe role of collaboration technology in linking computers with people
|
|
We describe use of Java as a general coding language for scientific and engineering computation
|
|
This approach unifies distributed event driven simulations with classic massively parallel time stepped computations
|
This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also
be looked at on their own!
