Foil 52 Decomposition Versus Integration

From The Use of Web Technologies (at NPAC) in HPCC Collaboration and Education Trip to Digital Corporation in New Hampshire -- May 8 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
1 One can identify both decomposition and integration as key parts of parallel (high performance) computing
2 Thus in HPF, we have distribute to address decomposition and the compiler uses MPI or equivalent to integrate
3 Java brings objects and threads to help decomposition
4 Java servers and applets really address integration and the greatest power of Web is in integration -- not decomposition
  • Most Web computing research focusses implicitly on integration
