Campus Wide Virtual Computer (CWVC)
The Campus Wide Virtual Computer is a heterogeneous distributed computing system built on top of Mentat, an object-oriented parallel processing system.
The CWVC is used to demonstrate the benefits of a Legion-like system, providing departments across the UVa campus with an interface to high performance distributed computing.
The CWVC allows researchers at the University to share resources and to develop applications that will be usable in a true Legion setting.
