Hector (HEterogeneous Computing Task allocatOR)

Abstract

Hector is designed to run MPI parallel programs on multiple workstations. By maintaining a database of the performance of available workstations and by observing the run-time performance of various tasks, it automatically allocates and migrates tasks to maximize performance. It supports fault tolerance, job suspension, and many other useful features.
