Network-Based Parallel Computing Communication, Architecture, and Applications: Third International Workshop, CANPC'99, Orlando, Florida, USA, January 9th, 1999, Proceedings

Clusters of workstations/PCs connected by o?—the—shelf networks have become popular as a platform for cost—effective parallel computing. Hardware and so— ware technological advances have made this network—based parallel computing platform feasible. A large number of research groups from academia and industry are working to enhance the capabilities of such a platform, thereby improving its cost—effectiveness and usability. These developments are facilitating the mig— tion of many existing ap...
