Abstract
This paper addresses part of the work that is being carried out within the SABA project. We are deploying and using a virtual parallel machine over a network-of-workstations, which communicates by means of an ATM based broadband multiservice network. The objective is to asses, by experimentation, the effect on the performance of this distributed parallel processing environment produce by the selection of the networking technology and the level of background traffic crossing the network.
Oscar-Iván Lepe is assistant researcher at Centro de Investigación Científica y Educación Superior de Ensenada, México. He is currently at UPC with a Ph.D. grant.
Related reports we found either use a non ATM network to support their PVM based DPP-E
