Foil 10 Basic HPcc Strategy

From Collaboration and Scientific Visualization for High Performance Data Bases ISDA Meeting Doubletree Hotel Pasadena -- March 25-27. by Geoffrey Fox


HPcc is High Performance commodity computing
Encapsulate services (from databases to instruments to MPP's) as middle tier distributed objects using an approach that will evolve to COM/CORBA in future but is deployable today
  • JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) links to databases
  • (Java) web server/CORBA JWORB interfaces to compute modules
  • Client Side Javabean visual interfaces
  • Server Side Enterprise Javabeans
Establish Java Frameworks and Equivalent CORBA Facilities
  • for Computing Services
  • Distributed Scientific Objects DSO -- Compute and Data sectors --- with several domain specific interfaces inherited from DSO
This already gives you an approach to seamless access and a framework for composing complex metaproblems by linking programs together or programs to databases
