Hybrid cluster computing with mobile objects

The hybrid cluster computing is the computing based on the platform of hybrid clusters, which is the computer cluster consisting of both the stationary and mobile computers, interconnected by wireless and wired networks. The study presented in this paper contributes to the research of hybrid cluster computing in two aspects: one is that a prototype for the hybrid cluster computing is implemented based on the proposed framework with Java mobile objects and the mobile IP, the other is that the performance of the hybrid cluster computing is studied, especially the trade-off between the communication load and the computational load. Experimental results are presented.
