Abstract
Once applications with Finite number of Independent and Irregular Tasks (FIIT) have been introduced, CONFIIT is presented. This is a fully distributed peer-to-peer environment designed to compute FIIT problems. This Java written middleware aims at setting a logical ring organization for network’s resources, such as PCs, workstations or parallel architectures. It also offers a low-cost communication solution to share, and compute, the different tasks of a FIIT problem over the structured system. The efficiency of this solution, is shown, through experiments, using the Langford’s problem.
