Abstract: Technology trends make it attractive to use workstations connected by a local area network as a multicomputing platform for parallel applications. Achieving acceptable application performance in such a workstation cluster using commodity components requires good support from system software and network hardware. This paper describes our experience with parallel programming in a workstation cluster and the implications for operating systems and network adaptor design. Our cluster consists... (Update)
