HPCC is a small field and Scientific Computing a modest size field with limited resources for very hard problems and must leverage as much software as possible
-
Using architecture (rather than just tactical opportunities) of Web maximizes chance of re-using commercial technology on an ongoing basis
|
Web Software provides an excellent pervasive user interface with Java Applets and WebWindows
|
Web Software provides a potentially excellent high performance object oriented language (Java) for scientific and engineering computation
|
All(!?) we need to do is to add high performance and special features of scientific computing (math libraries) to the modest performance distributed information model of the Web!
