Summary:Abstract: "Today's requirements for computational power are still not satisfied. Supercomputers on the one hand achieve good performance figures for a great variety of applications but are expensive to buy and maintain. Multiprocessors like the Paragon XP/S are cheaper but require more effort to port applications. As one consequence, much computational power of such systems is wasted with debugging these codes. An attempt to withdraw implementation and debugging codes from multiprocessor systems is the usage of coupled workstations. A software environment for networks of workstations allows for implementation and testing of applications. After having been tested the applications can then be shifted to the multiprocessor systems by recompilation. The paper describes the design and implementation of an environment which allows to use Ethernet coupled Sun SPARC systems as a development platform for applications targeted for Intel Paragon XP/S systems."
