Application service providing for distributed high-performance computing

In this paper we present an application service providing (asp) system called home@globe as a framework for parallel distributed high performance computing. The developed asp is a new kind of such system which provides distributed applications in contrast to the known centralized systems. The system home@globe is based on a java-based infrastructure and it can be used as a gridcomputing tool for distributed high performance computing. Its architecture and implementation require participants to have access only to a lava-enabled web browser. The main goal of system design is to create a platform-independent remote display system for application service providers, which is able to run the application from the distributed server. Through the integration of the hyper-computer, which was developed by the university of rostock, the system home@globe as a webfront is able to compute high performance tasks distributed parallel on loosely-coupled networks. In this paper we describe system architecture and implementation, then we discuss experimental performance results for the application of animation rendering, soil simulation and some example applications for remote display.
