The Common Component Architecture is a standard for Component-based software engineering used in high-performance (also known as scientific) computing. The designers of the Common Component Architecture are the members of the Common Component Architecture Forum. Features of the Common Component Architecture that distinguish it from commercial component standards (CORBA, Enterprise Java Beans) include support for FORTRAN programmers, multi-dimensional data arrays, exotic hardware and operating systems, and a variety of network data transports not typically suited for wide area networks.
Famous quotes containing the words common, component and/or architecture:
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
