Foil 44 Opportunities in HPCC - I?

From Variety of Foils Used Starting January 97 General -- 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Problem with HPCC is not ideas but rather finding enough people to implement robust rich software
  • No more people so take software from elsewhere
View parallel computing as a special case of distributed computing with tighter synchronization and lower latency
  • Enhance Web technologies accordingly and use as new HPCC software infrastructure
Java/JavaScript front ends for interoperability and visualization is first step
  • This will link to wrappers around existing Fortran/C++/HPF/MPI code
  • Users will find it convenient to modify this front end as so this is trojan horse which will lead for existing Fortran users converting to Java
