Foil 105 Guidelines for HPF Futures

From NII Technologies from WebTop Productivity to Computing Minnesota Presentations at Cray Research and University -- 13-14 November 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

We need to do more than make HPF available on PC/Workstation networks and shared memory multiprocessors
We need to make HPF (and similar HPCC technologies) the languages that typical(many) PC/WS user will adopt because it supports the distributed computing opportunities of the World Wide Web
This implies that we need to build HPF on top of common Web or distributed computing standards.
  • HPF brings to the Web world, the accumulated experience of synchronization and parallel algorithms from HPCC.
  • This includes collective communication (multi-cast) etc.
