Abstract

In today's high performance computing arena, there is a strong trend toward building virtual computers from heterogeneous resources on a network. In this paper we describe our experiences in building a world-wide virtual machine (WWVM) based on emerging Web and existing HPCC technologies. We have constructed a Web-based parallel/distributed programming environment on top of this machine demonstrating MPI and PVM message-passing programs and High Performance Fortran programs. Alternatively, the WWVM can be configured as a metacomputer for the solution of metaproblems.
