HPVM Front-end

The HPVM front-end is a Java applet and daemon which together support convenient remote use of cluster computation resources. The front-end provides a graphical user interface which can be run on any machine supporting the Java Virtual Machine, and talks to the front-end daemon which in turn submits jobs and gathers cluster status information from Platform Computing's Load Sharing Facility (LSF) queue manager. Thus, remote users can submit jobs, monitor their progress, and examine their results. For members of the NCSA - National Computational Science Alliance, we have negotiated a special licensing deal has been negotiated with Platform computing for LSF on Windows NT. If you are a member of the alliance, please contact the Licensing folks at Platform Computing (please include "HPVM User, NCSA Member" in your email header). If there is any question about the arrangements after you have done so, you can contact the HPVM Team.
