Abstract

The authors describe an X-window-based software environment, called HeNCE (Heterogeneous Network Computing Environment), designed to assist scientists in developing parallel programs that run on a network of computers. HeNCE is built on top of a software package called PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) which supports process management and communication between a network of heterogeneous computers. HeNCE is based on a parallel programming paradigm where an application program can be described by a graph. Nodes of the graph represent subroutines and the arcs represent data dependencies. HeNCE is composed of integrated graphical tools for creating, compiling, executing, and analyzing HeNCE programs.
