Foil 12 Why use the Web as basis for HPCC Software?

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
HPCC is a small field with limited resources for a very hard problem and must leverage as much software as possible
Web Software provides an excellent pervasive user interface with Java Applets and WebWindows
Web Software provides a potentially excellent high performance object oriented language (Java) for scientific and engineering computation
Web Software provides a high functionality but modest performance distributed computing environment based on either Web Servers or Clients
  • We will choose to use servers as higher functionality than clients although currently less broadly deployed
  • Only addresses Integration of already decomposed parts!
All(!?) we need to do is to add high performance to the Web!
