Abstract

In this work we present a novel architecture for distributed computing in a peer-to-peer network. In particular, we realize the Paderborn University BSP-based Web Computing Library (PUBWCL), which was formerly used as a centralized client-server architecture for scheduling and load balancing, as a pure peer-to-peer system. By using distributed heterogeneous hash tables (DHHT), our architecture features scheduling and load balancing of tightly coupled, massively parallel algorithms in the bulk-synchronous (BSP) style with a minimal number of migrations. Furthermore, our architecture is capable of heterogeneous BSP programs whereas the former version of PUBWCL could only handle homogeneous BSP programs.
