Foil 17 NPAC Concept : HPcc High Performance commodity computing

From Computing on the Pragmatic Object Web EuroPar Invited Presentation -- September 4 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Distributed Computing becomes a commodity highly functional environment (driven by Object Web Technologies)
2 Web/Commodity software (Pragmatic Object Web) - promising framework to build new HPcc (commodity computing) which can be applied to both metacomputing(computational grids), distributed simulation and parallel computing
3 Note HTTP CORBA IIOP Java RMI etc. is not necessarily High Performance layer -- they are linked middleware proxies controlling MPI as optimized "machine code"
4 HLA/RTI from distributed simulation community natural for coarse grain while PVM/MPI/HPF/.... natural for fine grain
5 Note logical progression below which is opposite to some other approaches
