As a result of advances in high-speed digital communications, researchers have begun to
use collections of different high-performance machines in concert to execute …

It is increasingly common for computer users to have access to several computers on a
network, and hence to be able to execute many of their tasks on any of several computers …

In the past decade there has been a dramatic shift from mainframe or 'host−
centric'computing to a distributed 'client− server'approach. In the next few years this trend is …

This paper discusses Nimrod, a tool for performing parametrised simulations over networks
of loosely coupled workstations. Using Nimrod the user interactively generates a …

With the increasing use of distributed memory massively parallel machines (MPPs) such as
the IBM SP, the need for improved parallel job scheduling tools has sparked many recent …

The coming of giga-bit networks makes possible the realization of a single nationwide virtual
