From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part II:The Practical Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox


1 A WWW Based Computing Project Undertaken at NPAC
2 Our first prototype was built on compute-extended Web Servers using the standard CGI mechanism and applied successfully to the factorisation of the RSA 130 decimal digit number using the latest sieving algorithm which was distributed to a net of Web servers and clients in a load balanced fault tolerant fashion.
3 This work was presented at the Supercomputing 95 and was given the award as the most geographically dispersed and heterogeneous metacomputing solution in the Teraflop Challenge contest.
