Can use network of Web Clients and/or Web Servers
|
|
Not clear if distinction (in capability) between web server and client will remain
|
|
Web Client Models Include SuperWeb from UCSB and hotwired article "Suck your Mips".
|
|
More powerful but less pervasive is a pure Web Server model as in NPAC WebFlow
|
Can either use in controlled (IntraNets or run a server on every node of your MPP) or uncontrolled (the whole world wide web) fashion
-
Uncontrolled mode has interesting economic implications and is controversial in security, network performance area
|
|
Note total compute power in all Web "clients" is about 1000 times that in all Central Supercomputers
