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


Distributed Computing becomes a commodity highly functional environment (driven by Object Web Technologies)
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
Note HTTP CORBA IIOP Java RMI etc. is not necessarily High Performance layer -- they are linked middleware proxies controlling MPI as optimized "machine code"
HLA/RTI from distributed simulation community natural for coarse grain while PVM/MPI/HPF/.... natural for fine grain
Note logical progression below which is opposite to some other approaches
