Industrial Stochastic Simulations on a European Meta-Computer

Ken Meacham and Nick Floros and Mike Surridge

Abstract
This paper outlines the experiences of running a large stochastic multi-body simulation across a pan-European meta-computer, to demonstrate the use of the PROMENVIR tool within such a large-scale WAN environment. We describe the meta-application management approach developed by PAC and discuss the technical issues raised by this experiment.
