Title
The Problems and the Solutions of the Metacomputing Experiment in SC99
Abstract
An intercontinental network of supercomputers spanning more than 10000 miles and running challenging scientific applications was realized at the Supercomputing'99 (SC'99) conference in Portland, Oregon, USA using PACX-MPI and ATM PVCs. In this paper, we describe how we constructed the heterogeneous cluster of supercomputers, the problems we confronted in terms of multi-architecture and the way several applications handled the specific requirements of a metacomputer.
