Abstract
Parallel processing has emerged as a cost-effective solution for high performance computing. The “cluster of workstations” approach to parallel processing has also gained widespread acceptance. The ever increasing speed of the microprocessor and the availability of economically viable high speed interconnection networks combine to offer a powerful and inexpensive solution to parallel processing using a cluster of workstations. Windows NT offers a number of features that can be utilized to build such a system without compromising on functionality. In this paper, we describe the development of such a system. We also describe the development of the parallel processing library and related tools for parallel program development.
