%X JET is a parallel virtual machine. It has a dynamic number
   of processors which may run different proprietary operating
   systems. The processors communicate through the slowest
   intercommunication network of the world, do not provide peak
   performance and in the overall the parallel machine can be a
   very unstable computing surface. In other words, JET uses
   the idle CPU cycles of computers that are connected to the
   Internet, being a really inexpensive supercomputer. This
   paper presents the design of a Java parallel library that
   provides support for the execution of embarrassingly
   parallel applications. It inherits the security, robustness
   and portability features of Java and includes support for
   fault\-tolerance, scalability and high\-performance through
   the use of parallelism.
