Abstract

This paper presents Hydra - a system designed for distributed computing on a set of heterogeneous uncommitted machines. It consists of autonomous nodes placed on participating host computers. The nodes attempt to make maximal use of temporarily available resources with a monitoring mechanism. Hydra nodes need no administration. Prototype was implemented in Java. Results of a sample simulation show scalability of the system.
