Foil 2 Abstract of HPCC Portable Software based on Web Technology

From Web Technology as the basis of Portable High Quality HPCN Software Review Meeting of PSPTA Group Manchester UK, Garland Texas(E-systems), Winnipeg Canada(HPCS'97) -- July 1,9,12 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We suggest that one can re-engineer existing HPCC concepts using emerging Web technology to produce a far more effective programming environment
This presentation asserts that software architecture should be designed in three layers: client interface, high functionality middleware accessing when necessary specialized high performance third layer
On client side, we discuss VPL as an example and suggest that a Java Computing Services framework can lead to universal interoperable interfaces
In middleware, we discuss Collaboration, Integration software, Multidisciplinary Applications, databases and CORBA
  • This links to distributed simulation HLA RTI and DIS
  • We describe development of JavaBean based visual programming with HPComponentWare
Finally we discuss Java as the universal language to express all of this -- including scientific computing!
