Foil 54 Decomposition Versus Integration

From And the HPCN Future is: Petaflop Computers and Java and Web Technologies Aachen Parallel Computing Workshop, Pallas Presentation Germany -- April 21,23 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
1 One can identify both decomposition and integration as key parts of parallel (high performance) computing
2 Thus in HPF, we have distribute to address decomposition and the compiler uses MPI or equivalent to integrate
3 Java brings objects and threads to help decomposition
4 Java servers and applets really address integration and the greatest power of Web is in integration -- not decomposition
  • Most Web computing research focusses implicitly on integration
