Abstract
Research in parallel and high-performance computing eventually has to be justified by the resulting improvements in real-world applications. The increase of availability, scalability and efficiency of PC clusters has led to increased interest in clusters for commercial and industrial applications. The recent development of middleware tools makes it possible to use computational or data grids to solve the largest classes of problems with requirements for highly heterogeneous computer resources.
