Foil 4 Some Example Systems with Ideas and Requirements

From Problem Solving Environments:Virtual Parallel Environments and Languages Subgroup ARPA-NSF Workshop at Purdue -- September 25-27 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

MATLAB -- note not parallel but very succesful
AVS -- different level of abstraction from MATLAB -- also succesful and not (correctly) parallel.
PDElab/ELLPACK and other partial differential equation packages
DSI / SIMNET and distributed event driven simulation for military applications
VRML and growing distributing interactive gaming applications
Global Arrays (Pacific Northwest Lab) -- very succesful toolkit for matrix formulated chemistry applications -- can they/should they extend to finer grain molecular dynamics
ASOP -- Multidisciplinary Design Systems -- and lessons from prototypes Engineous (GE), FIDO(Langley), NPSS(Lewis)
  • Note link to databases and need for wrappers for legacy systems
WebWork -- Boston NPAC -- use Web for (initially) coarse grain software integration
