If the current Object Web program succeeds, IIOP will become a `cosmic' message passing protocol |
In HPCC domain, people are typically using low level high performance communication packages such as PVM, MPI or Nexus and they consider CORBA/IIOP as not very useful as too low performance |
However, it seems possible and natural to build High Performance CORBA support by providing dedicated HP-ORB that offers optimized IIOP on top of Nexus |
The resulting HP-CORBA (see next slide) offers an interesting paradigm for new Web based HPCC |
