WebWork Interpolates and Integrates pervasive Web HPCC and (nonHPCC) commercial software as in following table comparing computing concepts in three "worlds"; HPCC -- Commercial mainstream -- Web |
Current Web model needs computational extensions for banking/financial applications, manufacturing, interactice shopping/videogames etc |
HPCC can provide Web both parallel computing programming models, libraries and language/runtime concepts which coordinate components of distributed or parallel system |
HPCC needs the Web (or equivalent) to give it viable distributed computing and software engineering base |
The Web interpolates between "flaky" research software and solid but closed corporate solution. Clear trend away from proprietary towards open software models. |
