To achieve data intensive computation, the joining of geographically distributed heterogeneous clusters of workstations through the Internet can be an inexpensive approach. To obtain effective collaboration in such a collection of clusters, overcoming processors and networks heterogeneity, a system architecture was defined. This architecture and a model able to predict application performance and to help its design is described, The matrix multiplication algorithm is used as a benchmark and experiments are conducted over two geographically distributed heterogeneous clusters, one in Brazil and the other in Spain. The model obtained over 90% prediction accuracy in the experiments. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
