  abstract     = {{We present a web computing library (PUBWCL) in Java that allows to execute strongly coupled, massively parallel algorithms in the bulk-synchronous (BSP) style on PCs distributed over the internet whose owners are willing to donate their unused computation power.
PUBWCL is realized as a peer-to-peer system and features migration and restoration of BSP processes executed on it.
The use of Java guarantees a high level of security and makes PUBWCL platform independent. In order to estimate the loss of efficiency inherent in such a Java-based system, we have compared it to our C-based PUB-Library.

  abstract     = {{We compare different load balancing strategies for Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) programs in a web computing environment. In order to handle the influence of the fluctuating available computation power, we classify the external work load.

We evaluate the load balancing algorithms using our web computing library for BSP programs in Java (PUBWCL). Thereby we simulated the external work load in order to have repeatable testing conditions.

With the best performing load balancing strategy we could save 39% of the execution time averaged and even up to 50% in particular cases.}},
