Abstract
Today's growth of the mobile communication infrastructure made mobile computing systems like cellular phones came next to or surpassed the desktop PCs in popularity due to their mobility. Although the performance of mobile devices is now being improved continuously, it is a current common sense that compute intensive large-scale applications can hardly run on any kind of mobile handset devices. To clear up this problem, we decided to exploit the mobile cluster computing system and surveyed the existing ones first. We found out, however, that most of them are not the actual implementations but a mobile cluster infrastructure proposal or idea suggestions for reliable mobile clustering. To make cell phones participated in cluster computing nodes, in this paper, we propose a redesigned JPVM cluster computing engine and a set of WIPI mobile runtime functions interfacing with it. And we also show the performance evaluation results of real parallel applications running on our Mobile-JPVM cluster computing systems. We find out by the performance evaluation that large-scale applications can sufficiently run on mobile devices such as cellular phones when using our mobile cluster computing engine.
