Abstract

In this paper, a new architecture for metacomputing is proposed, designed to integrate heterogeneous resources of the Internet. The goals of this metacomputer are the orchestration of very large amounts of workstations and the integration of supercomputers into a pool of resources for distributed parallel computing. Based on a tree shaped logical interconnection topology, the system provides not only a parallel programmer interface but also a simple user interface to administrate large systems.
