Foil 71 Can HPcc Give High Performance if applied to each node of a parallel computer?

From General NPAC Foils-98A starting January 98 (PowerPoint) Madison Wisconsin Internet Server Performance Workshop -- June 23 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 YES! If one uses the same separation between control and data transfer explained for metacomputing case
2 Build a "bridge" that accepts MPI HTTP or CORBA invocation but invokes either the powerful slow CORBA mechanism or the nifty optimized MPI
3 Why address nodes as CORBA? -- so you can build applications uniformly so they can access nodes and servers around the world in same message passing style
4 Why address nodes with MPI? -- so you can get code that executes very fast!
5 Why address nodes with HTTP? -- so you can get advantages of CORBA today as Web Servers dominate!
