  abstract=      "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."
