Java and PetaFlop Systems Abstract

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 This talk was presented at the "Kolloquium uber Parallelverarbeitung in technisch-naturwissenschaftlichen" at Aachen April 21, 1997 and (without PetaFlop comments) at the Pallas Software company (Bruhl Germany) April 23, 1997
2 The visit was sponsored by GMD Bonn SCAI (Ulrich Trottenberg)
3 We discussed the expected PetaFlop architectures with their challenges and then the new software approaches suggested by the Web
4 Please go to URL http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/javaforcse
5 We describe 3 major areas where Java (and other Web Technologies) can have significant impact
6 1) Java can be used to build user Interfaces and here we describe the Virtual Programming Laboratory VPL
7 2) Java can support coarse grain integration and metacomputing
  • Here we describe both WebFlow (AVS on the web) and Tango (a Java Collaboratory)
  • Both Computational Steering and "Forces Modelling" seem naturally implemented with this technology
8 3) Java as a traditional compiled language for computational kernels
  • Integration of Interpreted and Compiled Environments
  • The latter discussion included details on parallel Java
