Abstract

The software package, Small WebComputing (SWC), has been applied to a Monte Carlo simulation of a system of hard hyperspheres in a variety of dimensions. The SWC environment was chosen because once the framework is embedded in the application code, the user has the choice of running the distributed computations as a set of applets, as parallel threads on a symmetric multiprocessor or as independent processes distributed over a network. A description of the software and a discussion of its ongoing evolution is presented.
