Abstract
HARNESS (Heterogeneous Adaptable Reconfigurable Networked SystemS) is an experimental metacomputing system[22] built around the services of a highly customizable and reconfigurable distributed virtual machine (DVM). The successful experience of the HARNESS design team with the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) project has taught us both the features which make the DVM model so valuable to parallel programmers and the limitations imposed by the PVM design. HARNESS seeks to remove some of those limitations by taking a totally different approach to creating and modifying a DVM. Keywords: metacomputing, message-passing libraries, distributed applications, distributed virtual machines, PVM 1 Introduction Virtual machine (VM) terminology, borrowed from PVM[8], refers to the fact that the computing resources on which a system runs can be viewed as a single large distributed memory computer. The virtual machine is a software abstraction of a distributed computing platform consisting of a set of ...
