Abstract
The NetSolve project, underway at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, allows users to access computational resources, such as hardware and software, distributed across the network. Thanks to a variety of interfaces, users can easily perform scientific computing tasks without having any computing resource installed on their computers. Research issues involved in the NetSolve system include fault-tolerance, load balancing, user-interface design, computational servers, virtual libraries, and network-based computing. As the project matures, several promising extensions and applications of NetSolve will emerge. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the project and examine some of the extensions being developed for NetSolve: An interface to the Condor system, an interface to the ScaLAPACK parallel library, a bridge with the Ninf system, and an integration of NetSolve and ImageVision.
