We discuss role of commodity (Web) technologies in future high performance computing environments |
We describe how a network of Web/CORBA/COM servers architecture can naturally support both parallel and distributed computing while |
We describe applications to both metacomputing, and parallel computing |
We suggest critical importance of CORBA and component based software in HPCC -- Javabeans seem very important |
We recommend agreement on standard interfaces or frameworks for computing and essentially seamless user interfaces |
We describe role of collaboration technology in linking computers with people |
We describe use of Java as a general coding language for scientific and engineering computation |
This approach unifies distributed event driven simulations with classic massively parallel time stepped computations |
