Foil 27 WebHPL -- Some Possible Application Domains: PDELab, Telemedicine

From Overview of WebWindows March 95 CRPC Annual Meeting Houston -- March 21-24,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

We suggest the following two application initial domains for WebHPL experiments: PDELab at Purdue and Telemedicine at CNY.
PDELab maintains an impressive collection of solvers and grid generators, contributed by several developers and supporting various areas of scientific computing. On the other hand, the existing software can hardly cope with industry challenges, that often require automated decomposition of complex irregular domains and synchronized computation of many resulting PDE modules. We see this problem domain as very natural for coarse grained WWVM, running PDE specific subset of HPC++ and using agents for handling the system level coordination.
Commercial Matlab could use similar support.
Telemedicine applications represent another example of Integrated Challenge where we plan to test our technologies. Regular HPCC components can be represented here by medical imaging, parallel rendering of a virtual human, or a PDE for virtual muscle simulation, whereas the agents component is responsible for integration, synchronization or near-real time delivery.
