Foil 22 One Strategy for a Object Web-based Metacomputing

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Seamless Computing Conference ECMWF Reading England -- Sept 17,97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Object Web Software provides a high functionality but modest performance distributed computing (Metacomputing) environment based on either Web (soon to be CORBA IIOP and HTTP/Java Socket) Servers or Clients
2 Here we will explore an architecture using servers for control as higher functionality than clients although currently less broadly deployed
  • Some "parallel" computing problems (e.g. embarrassingly parallel ones) can "immediately" use Web as a parallel engine with no performance enhancements
3 Object Web Only addresses Integration of already decomposed parts!
  • Inherit and extend decomposition (data-parallel) technology from HPCC (parallel compiler and library technology)
  • Compose / Integrate Modules with Web Technology
  • Inherit all the pervasive (not high performance) services from the Web
