=title=
Plotting Algebraic Space Curves by Cluster Computing
=abstract=
We describe a parallel solution to the problem of reliably plotting a space
curve defined by the intersection of algebraic surfaces. The original
sequential program is implemented in the software library CASA on the basis 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 on a cluster of
workstations and PCs, on a massively parallel multiprocessor, and on a cluster
that couples workstations and multiprocessor.
