=title=
On Solving a Problem in Algebraic Geometry by Cluster Computing
=abstract=
We describe a parallel solution to the problem of reliably plotting a
plane algebraic curve. The sequential program is implemented
in the software library CASA on top of the computer algebra system
Maple. The parallel version is based on Distributed Maple, a parallel
programming extension written in Java. We evaluate its performance on a
cluster of workstations and PCs, on a massively parallel multiprocessor,
and on a cluster that couples workstations and multiprocessor.
