Abstract

We present the Distributed Batch Controller (DBC), a system built to support batch processing of large scientific datasets. The DBC implements a federation of autonomous workstation pools, which may be widely distributed. Individual batch jobs are executed using idle workstations in these pools. Input data are staged to the pool before processing begins. We describe the architecture and implementation of the DBC, and present the results of experiments in which it is used to perform image compression.
