| Abstract: | A method has been developed to link the display ability of ahigh-resolution graphics workstation with the computationalpower of a local mainframe or a remote supercomputer via anelectronic data network. The method allows this link to be establishedin a manner largely transparent to the user. The applicationof the method is illustrated by our successful distributionof the computationally intensive portions of an imaging program(MDPP) from a small VAX workstation to a VAX mainframe and CrayY-MP8/832 using a simple message-passing technique. This techniquecan be applied to almost any configuration of networked machines. Received on February 5, 1991; accepted on April 23, 1991 |
