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 *
One can identify both decomposition and integration as key parts of parallel (high performance) computing
Thus in HPF, we have distribute to address decomposition and the compiler uses MPI or equivalent to integrate
Java brings objects and threads to help decomposition
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
