HPcc ideas can be applied to either parallel or high-performance distributed computing (aka metacomputing)
|
In metacomputing, HPcc fills a void as few high level tools
|
In parallel computing, HPcc provides uniform and perhaps more attractive sustainable user environment
|
Can view a parallel computer either as a single tier 2 object
-
or as a collection of tier 2 objects -- one per node
|
Both are interesting
-
As a single object provides a CORBA like facility of invoking as a distributed object
-
As one object per node, can use HPcc to provide node level programming environment
