Foil 36 HPCC ComponentWare: Essential Ideas

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Seamless Computing Conference ECMWF Reading England -- Sept 17,97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Large gains in HPCC user productivity will be attained if we can integrate the ideas and technologies of modern (PC) visual programming with classical HPCC approaches
2 Use of important emerging Web and CORBA technology allows HPCC object (C++.,Java) and visual (CODE, Hence, WebFlow, AVS, Khoros) systems to be enhanced to become parallel component-based visual programming systems.
3 CORBA does not incorporate HPCC but as it specifies services and not implementation,
  • One can build a high performance HP-CORBA environment where we separate a high functionality modest performance control layer from an optional high performance method invocation layer.
4 HP-CORBA can be built on Nexus and Globus and it will allow HPCC users access to any CORBA service with an option for high performance when necessary.
5 The NPAC WebFlow technology can be combined with emerging JavaBean technology to produce a prototype HPcomponent system.
6 Note industry is ahead with sequential ComponentWare but is only now moving with activeX to distributed systems. HPCC already has visual distributed environments. So HPCC need not be behind if it generalizes modules to Javabeans
