Foil 22 Basic HPcc Strategy

From Java Grande: Role of Java in Large Scale Computations NPACI Summer Institute on Parallel Computing -- August 21 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


HPcc is High Performance commodity computing
Encapsulate services (from databases to instruments to MPP's) as middle tier distributed objects using an approach that will evolve to COM/CORBA in future but is deployable today
  • JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) links to databases
  • (Java) web server/CORBA JWORB interfaces to compute modules
  • Client Side Javabean visual interfaces
  • Server Side Enterprise Javabeans
Establish Java Frameworks and Equivalent CORBA Facilities
  • for Computing Services
  • Distributed Scientific Objects DSO -- Compute and Data sectors --- with several domain specific interfaces inherited from DSO
This already gives you an approach to seamless access and a framework for composing complex metaproblems by linking programs together or programs to databases
