Abstract

Workstations provide an attractive platform to develop soft- ware. This paper describes the NXLib environment which enables users to use this platform to develop parallel applications. The source code compatibility of NXLib applications with Intel’s Paragon multicomputer system easily allows to migrate these applications to a supercomputer. The performance which can be achieved with either platform is com- pared using two applications. In addition performance results of NXLib communication calls and comparisons with other widespread message- passing libraries for workstation clusters are presented.
