✦ Synopsis

We present a software system for the management of geographically distributed highperformance computers. It consists of three components: 1. The Computing Center Software (CCS) is a vendor-independent resource management software for local HPC systems. It controls the mapping and scheduling of interactive and batch jobs on massively parallel systems; 2. The Resource and Service Description (RSD) is used by CCS for specifying and mapping hardware and software components of (meta-)computing environments. It has a graphical user interface, a textual representation and an object-oriented API; 3. The Service Coordination Layer (SCL) co-ordinates the co-operative use of resources in autonomous computing sites. It negotiates between the applications' requirements and the available system services.

Clusters and distributed systems offer two important advantages, viz. fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing. When all computers are up and running, we would like the load to be evenly distributed among the computers. When one or more computers break down the load on these compute
