Applying Mobile Agent in Parallel Computing for Solving Numerical Equations

Abstract

Mobile Agent technology has the ability to travel from host to host in different or same network. Mobile Agents can migrate on themselves, their program and their state across the network and can execute the process at remote site. It motivates force in reducing network traffic and operates asynchronously and autonomously of the process. For these reason, Mobile Agent has been an effective choice for parallel and distributed computing. This paper presents the usage of Mobile Agent in parallel computing for solving the numerical problem of equations such as Gauss Jordan Iteration. Master-worker design of mobile agent will be used in solving the system of equations in parallel. The master agent will send a number of worker agents to different processors, calculate in parallel and will return the partial result to the host site after solving them. After all calculations, the master agent will produce the final result.
