Foil 2 Abstract of HPCC Software Status 1996

From HPCC Current Status: Software Trip to China -- July 12-28,96. by Geoffrey Fox * 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!
