Foil 33 Communication Protocol Integration

From General NPAC Foils-98A starting January 98 (PowerPoint) DSWA HPCC REquirements Workshop TASC Building Rosslyn VA -- 20 February 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Need Flexibility of HTTP/RMI/COM/CORBA with performance of systems like MPI
Can use compiler or runtime libraries to map in application (tier 3) which gives greatest performance
More flexible is to map at server (tier 2) when you can access functionality of all mapped protocols
NPAC is building JWORB which is a Java Web server which can bridge the Web and CORBA protocols
  • JWORB will support RTI and so allow one to build Web Tools for FMS/IMT DoD communities
  • WebFlow can become an HLA Programming Environment
Commercial systems can bridge COM and CORBA
