Abstract
BABBAGE is a software tool to ease the task of implementing grid based applications that conform to the master-slave model when using distributed computing platforms. Whilst initially developed for finite difference applications, the tool has been extended to support other numeric methodologies for solving partial differential equations. The tool simplifies the coding of distributed grid based algorithms by making the message passing and other configuration issues transparent. The tool is designed for an array of processors and has been implemented on a transputer system running the Helios operating system.
