Abstract
XtremWeb-CH (XWCH) is a software system that makes it easy for scientists and industrials to deploy and execute their parallel and distributed applications on a public-resource computing infrastructure. The objective of XWCH is to develop a real High Performance Peer-To-Peer platform with a distributed scheduling and communication system. The main idea is to build a completely symmetric model where nodes can be providers and consumers at the same time.
This paper describes the different “components” of an XWCH infrastructure and the new features proposed by this platform compared to other similar Global Computing projects. It also describes the porting, the deployment and the execution of a phylogenetic CPU time consuming application on an experimental XWCH platform.
