We describe some aspects of HPCC in USA and in particular the new NCSA computational alliance and the proposed petaflop initiative |
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 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 |
