Abstract:
The coordinated use of geographically distributed computers, or metacomputing, can in principle provide more accessible and cost-effective supercomputing than do conventional highperformance systems. However, we lack evidence that metacomputing systems can be made easily usable or that large numbers of applications are able to exploit metacomputing resources. In this article, we present work that addresses both these concerns. The basis for this work is a system called Nimrod that provides a desktop problemsolving environment for parametric experiments. We describe how Nimrod has been extended to support the scheduling of computational resources located in a wide-area environment and report
