Foil 11 Management Software for Distributed Systems

From MetaComputing -- the Informal Supercomputer Tutorial for CRPC Annual Meeting at Argonne -- May 13 1996. by Mark Baker
There is not a universally used or mandated environment with which to implement, manage and run a Metacomputer at this time.
Presently there are only relatively small integrated local systems (LAN-based) - customised for local circumstances and conditions.
To create the infrastructure for a Metacomputer you would ideally like to call-up your local computer vendor and buy a package that does everything that you want!
