GLOBAL foilset HPCC Current Status: Software

Given by Geoffrey Fox at Trip to China on July 12-28,96. Foils prepared July 6 1996
More Detail! * Foil Index from this file * See also color IMAGE

We start with an overall discussion of types of software environments and when they apply
  • Data and Task Parallelism
  • Coordination or Coarse Grain Software Integration Languages
Data Parallel and Message Passing are still critical but the situation is confused by immaturity of parallel compilers
We then discuss current work involving Xiaoming Li with HPF and the Parallel Runtime Compiler Consortium
MetaComputing is an emerging field oof importance and we sketch our plans for MetaWeb
Java threatens to change the ballgame!

This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
General Collection of Research Foils -- July--December 1996
Part A:Overview of Programming Paradigms and Relation to Applications
Part B:Overview of Programming Paradigms and Relation to Applications
