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
The visit was sponsored by GMD Bonn SCAI (Ulrich Trottenberg)
We discussed the expected PetaFlop architectures with their challenges and then the new software approaches suggested by the Web

We describe 3 major areas where Java (and other Web Technologies) can have significant impact
1) Java can be used to build user Interfaces and here we describe the Virtual Programming Laboratory VPL
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
3) Java as a traditional compiled language for computational kernels
  • Integration of Interpreted and Compiled Environments
  • The latter discussion included details on parallel Java
