Foil 57 Parallel Computing v. Metacomputing

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


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
