1 | We describe some aspects of HPCC in USA and in particular the new NCSA computational alliance and the proposed petaflop initiative |
2 | We discuss role of commodity (Web) technologies in future high performance computing environments |
3 | We describe how a network of Web/CORBA/COM servers architecture can naturally support both parallel and distributed computing while |
4 | We describe applications to both metacomputing, and parallel computing |
5 | We suggest critical importance of CORBA and component based software in HPCC -- Javabeans seem very important |
6 | We describe role of collaboration technology in linking computers with people |
7 | We describe use of Java as a general coding language for scientific and engineering computation |
8 | This approach unifies distributed event driven simulations with classic massively parallel time stepped computations |
