Abstract
We describe here the RAIN project, aimed at demonstrating the use of High Performance Computing and Networking technologies in neural network applications for industry and medicine. The target architecture of the demonstrators is a workstation cluster: a choice suggested by the cost-effectiveness of this architecture. In order to manage both the cluster and the applications running on it, we built a Java-based interface that can be executed by any Java-enhanced browser.
