Abstract

A dynamic workload allocation model which utilizes a data pool manager is investigated herein. It aims at heterogeneous multicomputer environments and the implementation is written in C using the MPICH NT 1.2.5 message passing interface for Microsoft Windows based clusters. The algorithm utilized is the data parallel adaptation of the Brute Force exact pattern matching algorithm. Performance evaluation for both homogeneous and heterogeneous system configurations is experimentally investigated.
