A chip with 80 processing cores and capable of more than a trillion calculations per second (teraflops) has been unveiled by Intel. see the BBC report. This new chip presents a great challenge to the programming community. The proposed HTC may be part of solving these challenges. The BBC report continues. The challenge “It’s...

Intel’s Teraflop chip and The Hypertext Computer
The HyperText Computer (HTC) and seti@home
SETI@home is a computing project that analyzes radio telescope data using the spare computing power available in internet connected computers. Users who wish to offer their computers’ processor and storage to the project, download and install BOINC – the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. BOINC accepts units of computing work from the seti@home...

The HyperText Computer (HTC) and the Windows Communication Foundation
As part of .NET 3.0 the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a unified programming model from Microsoft that delivers many of the benefits motivating the proposed HyperText Computer. Some of the key benefits of the WCF include: Replacing 7-8 different programming models with a single one, the programmer may interact with local and remote...

The HTC does for programming what has already been done for information retrieval.
What has the web done for information? In short, the web has made the network invisible when retrieving information. The distance traveled and the technology employed to deliver a request from a browser and the response returned makes no difference to the user’s perspective. That is part of the magic of the web. The...

The HyperText Computer (HTC) and IBM’s Infinity Project
This morning I found a recent report by Darryl K. Taft quoting Stefan Schoenauer of IBM titled “Future Net: Expanding the Web from Pages to Data Sources“. It appears that IBM’s Infinity middleware project may be a proto-HyperText Computer. While the details are sketchy, here is what we know… The HTC is a model...

The HyperText Computer and the web information space
After reading the following quote from Tim Berners-Lee I have been reflecting on the appropriateness of my proposal of a HyperText Computer — a model computer built on top of HTTP: From the fact that the thing referenced by the URI is in some sense repeatably the same suggests that in a large number...

The HyperText Computer and the Axioms of Web Architecture
Tim Berners-Lee has written several articles about the axioms and design principles behind the web. I have been curious as to how many of the basic principles of the web are broken by the proposed HyperTExt Computer (HTC). A key idea of the HyperText Computer (HTC) is that every operation is an HTTP request...
