Foil 5 HPCC ComponentWare: Essential Ideas

From JavaBeans and Visual HPCC omponentWare Study of DoE2000 Initiative -- July 1997. by Wojtek Furmanski, Geoffrey Fox


Large gains in HPCC user productivity will be attained if we can integrate the ideas and technologies of modern (PC) visual programming with classical HPCC approaches
Use of important emerging Web and CORBA technology allows HPCC object (C++.,Java) and visual (CODE, Hence, WebFlow, AVS, Khoros) systems to be enhanced to become parallel component-based visual programming systems.
CORBA does not incorporate HPCC but as it specifies services and not implementation, we assert that one can build a high performance HP-CORBA environment where we separate a high functionality modest performance control layer from an optional high performance method invocation layer.
HP-CORBA can be built on Nexus and Globus and it will allow HPCC users access to any CORBA service with an option for high performance when necessary.
The NPAC WebFlow technology can be combined with emerging JavaBean technology to produce a prototype HPcomponent system which can be used with DoE HPCC object based systems such as POOMA and PETSc.
