From Master Foilset Web Based Network Technologies for Scientific Computing CRPC NSF Review August 15-16 1996 -- 16 August 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Secs 90
1 Web Servers and HTTP are not as efficient as PVM/MPI daemons and their messaging but
  • Technology is rapidly changing -- HTTP-NG and new Java Servers will improve and further allow customization of services to HPCC with high performance when necessary
    • Don't customize now as Web Technology not stable enough yet!
2 Deploy Web technology first in education and in program development where high functionality of "Web Productivity Environment" is more important than performance
3 Then run production in classic "bare-bones" HPCC environment
