Foil 60 Some Conclusions on Programming Models

From Variety of Foils Used Starting January 97 General -- 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

This application does NOT suggest that any system (either HPF DAGH MPI) is either Obsolete or the solution!
  • Message passing is only "complete" solution (but unacceptable for rapid prototyping) while the alternative higher level approaches express parts of the problem which better programming environments which could support rapid prototyping
This application suggests a tool-kit approach where you can link together many environments and not be tied to a single system
  • Possible an Interpreted front end and/or use of systems like WebFlow
This stresses need for interoperable subsystems rather than ambitious complete solutions that can't be completed
