BIDM.Asset.Abstract far is a software tool for supporting the exploitation of spare processing capacity in networks of Unix workstations. It is underpinned by a managed database of workstation activity from which the state of the network can be assessed and spare resources identified. The software has been used to support the running of HPF-generated and other message-passing parallel programs in a network of about 200 publicly-accessible Sun workstations. It can be adapted to run on networks of SGI, and HP workstations. META
