| The WebHPL project specifies a software process that will result in a uniform HPF and HPC++ interpretative environment, offering a base HPCC infrastructure for WebWindows. |
| We already prototyped and demonstrated at SC'93 a minimal HPF interpreter, based on NPAC F90D compiler front-end and the MOVIE interpreted agent back-end. In WebHPL, we will also address parallel and distributed C++ specification and interpreter development. |
| HPC++ language model is not yet fully defined as C++ is larger, more complex language model than Fortran and there is no obvious subset to start from as it was the case with HPF. |
| Therefore, rather than approaching the problem from the language perspective, we will adopt the applications perspective. Selected HPCC application domains will be analyzed and the existing parallel C++ class libraries will be inspected by the formal language analysis tools developed within WebHPL to extract domain specific "little languages" that effectively parametrize a given domain. |
