Abstract

Today many high performance computers are reachable over some network. However, the access and use of these computers is often complicated. This prevents many users to work on such machines. The Goal of the Remote Computation System (CS) is to provide easy access to modern parallel algorithms on supercomputers for the inexperienced user. RCS has an easy-to-use mechanism for using computational resources remotely. The computational resources available are used as efficiently as possible in order to minimizes the response time.
