We investigate sources of parallelism in the Grr obner Basis algorithm for their practical use on the desk-top. Our execution environment is a standard multi-processor workstation, and our parallel programming environment is PARSAC-2 on top of a multi-threaded operating system. We investigate the performance of two main variants of our master parallel algorithm on a standard set of examples. Th...

Much computational power on state-of-the-art multicomput-ers like the Paragon is wasted with porting applications. Using networks of workstations is an attempt to withdraw this workload from multicom-puter systems. Therefore an environment is needed which provides the programming interface of multicomputers on coupled workstations. The paper describes the design and implementation of the NXLib ...
