Foil 7 Isn't the Web hardware and software too slow to be interesting for HPCC? - II

From Emerging Network(Web) Technologies for Scientific Computing CRPC NSF Review -- August 16 1996 . by Geoffrey C. Fox
Secs 54
One can use "native classes" which is just a predownloaded library of optimized runtime routines which can be high performance compiled Java, C, C++, Fortran, HPF etc. modules invoked by interpreted or compiled Java
  • This does NOT violate Web Philosophy in our opinion!
Use Native Classes selectively for
  • Compiler Runtime, Matrix Primitives, Image Processing and other engineering/science libraries,
  • PDE primitives such as mesh generators,
  • optimization as needed in resource management or applications
