=title=
Analyzing Algebraic Curves by Cluster Computing
=abstract=
We describe a parallel solution to the problem of resolving non-ordinary
singularities of a plane algebraic curve. The original sequential program is
implemented in the software library CASA on top of the computer algebra system
Maple. The new parallel version is based on Distributed Maple, a distributed
programming extension written in Java. We evaluate the performance of the
program in a cluster environment and compare it to that on a 
massively parallel multiprocessor.
