We describe some of forces and issues which we suggest will lead to Java emerging as the dominant language for scientific and engineering computation.
One Force is the new complex architectures expected for future high performance (petaflop) computers
This implies that other aspects of the Web will become important and in particular Web Servers will be used as a network(web) of computer servers which will allow powerful integration of data and compute services as a "server-server" infrastructure
  • Some of this is the natural consequence of the WebWindows picture of future software infrastructure
  • Here "HPF on the Web" Programming Laboratory as an example
We discuss both intrinsic reasons why
  • Java is more attractive than Fortran77/90 for Computational Science (I.e. Scientific and Engineering Computation)
  • and Issues in extending Java to support both coordination and data parallelism (HPJava)
