Abstract

Networks of workstations are now common places. They are more and more often used by the parallel computing community to achieve large computations. These platforms have a lower cost than dedicated machines but still provide very good results. At the software level, a middleware is required to make them usable. In this paper we present Jem, the middleware that we have developed at the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique - LaBRI -. We put the stress on two features - dynamic naming service and smart proxies - that make it easy for Jem to support dynamic and mobile resources.
