Abstract
Providing the parallel programming community with a single abstract view to a heterogeneous network of workstations is a very intrinsic task. Parallel programmers want a facility to combine a set of workstations and use this pool to create and execute threads. Alleviating the programmers from time consuming mechanisms such as managing communication among the threads over a network, scheduling threads and balancing the load through thread migration are all crucial. We developed XTPVM (eXtended TPVM) to be a transparent thread scheduling and migrating virtual machine based on TPVM (Threaded Parallel Virtual Machine) that provides parallel programmers with the ability of using a network of workstations for parallel processing. It considers heterogeneity and differences in processing power between workstations, and also the dynamics of the system as a whole. In such a computing environment, where the use of resources vary as other applications consume and release resources, transparent sch...
