The total computing capacity of workstations can be harnessed more efficiently by using a dynamic task allocation system. The Esprit project Dynamite provides such an automated load balancing system, through the migration of tasks of a parallel program using PVM. The Dynamite package is completely transparent, i.e. neither system (kernel) nor application program modifications are needed. Dynamite supports migration of tasks using dynamically linked libraries, open files and both direct and indirect PVM communication. In this paper we briefly introduce the Dynamite system and subsequently report on a collection of performance measurements.
