This paper contributes to the current literature of gridcomputing research by introducing Virtual Private grid(VPG)concept and corresponding supporting environment,which not only deal with the grid resource management as carried out by most researches but also take into account the network security issues for grid *** paper tends to promote VPG from the management point of view by exploring policy-based management *** concern is assigned to the private part of the VPG by employing virtual private networks(VPN)technology while leaving the grid resource management to the grid tool *** early experiment exemplifies the current implementation status and its *** paper presents a firststep towards VPG and plenty of work is ongoing.

For the solutions of linear systems of equations with unsymmetric coefficient matrices, we have proposed an improved version of the quasi-minimal residual (IQMR) method [Proceedings of The internationalconference on High Performance computing and Networking (HPCN-97) (1997);IEICE Trans Inform Syst E80-D (9) (1997) 919] by using the Lanczos process as a major component combining elements of numerical stability and parallel algorithm design. For the Lanczos process, stability is obtained by a coupled two-term procedure that generates Lanczos vectors scaled to unit length. The algorithm is derived so that all inner products and matrix-vector multiplications of a single iteration step are independent and the communication time required for inner product can be overlapped efficiently with computation time. In this paper, a theoretical model of computation and communications phases is presented to allow us to give a quantitative analysis of the parallel performance with a two-dimensional grid topology. The efficiency, speed-up, and runtime are expressed as functions of the number of processors scaled by the number of processors that gives the minimal runtime for the given problem size. The model not only evaluates effectively the improvements in performance due to communication reduction by overlapping, but also provides useful insight into the scalability of the IQMR method. The theoretical results on the performance are demonstrated by experimental timing results carried out on a massively paralleldistributed memory Parsytec system.

The main subject of this paper is to present some preliminary results of the speedup of a distributed simulator for ground water dispersion systems. A sequential version simulator, proposed in Anderson's book [1], calculates the concentrations during the dispersion of an aquifer. Depending on the number of nodes used in the grid for the simulation, the simulation time can be prohibitive. Thus a distributed simulator (DGWSDS)was developed, and the preliminary results of it speedup are showed here. Basically, the numerical method used in this simulator is finite differences. The distributed groundwater simulator dispersion system proposed and implemented achieved speedups up to 3, for a network of 8 PCs.

Inter-operability in heterogeneous distributed systems is often provided with the help of CORBA compliant middleware. Many distributed Object computing Systems, however, are characterized by limited heterogeneity. Such systems often contain a subset of components that are written in the same programming language and run on top of the same platform. We present engineering techniques that exploit such limited heterogeneity in systems for achieving high system performance. With these techniques components implemented using diverse programming languages and/or platform use a CORBA compliant middleware, whereas the similar components can use a "Flyover" that employs a separate path between the client and its server and avoids a number of CORBA overheads. Insights into system behavior and performance gained from results of experiments with synthetic workload running on a network of PC's are presented.

We present in this paper how Java threads are used to do concurrent coverification. The threads are scheduled with respect to the order of their priorities in the case of different priorities and by using the Round-Robin technique in the case of equal priorities. The system under coverification we are interested in consists eventually of a number of hardware and software modules described by threads at the behavioral level. The coverification process follows the execution path of the global modeled system and it verifies some specification properties during the simulation. We also discuss in this paper the case of untimed and timed coverification. An illustrative application on broadcasting protocol of cache coherence reveals promising results.

With the help of Monte Carlo simulation we study flows in very narrow channels in transitional regime. The standard difficulty of large statistical scattering in Monte Carlo simulation results, which for these problems is especially severe because of the small values of mean gas velocities in comparison with the thermal molecular speeds, has been overcomed by enlarging the samples through Internet connection of several clusters into a metacomputer. Special dynamic load balancing technique under distributed memory conditions was developed. It is described in detail and quantitative estimation of its performance is given. It is shown in particular that under condition of only 1 Mb/s Internet channel it is possible to obtain efficiency of processor's utilisation as high as 93%-94%. This is just 2%-3% lower than for pure separate computation on the same cluster. Some numerical simulation results are outlined.
