P2P way of interaction between PCs P3 uses JXTA for all communications JXTA is a widely accepted P2P protocol, project and library, that provides common functions P2P software requires. P2P concepts supported by JXTA efficiently support P3: Ad-hoc self-organization PCs can discover and communicate with each other without pre-configuration. Discovery PCs dynamically discover each other and jobs without a central server. Peer Group PCs are grouped into job groups, in which PCs carry out code distribution, job control, and collective communication for parallel computation. Overlay Network Peer ID in JXTA is independent from physical IDs like IP addresses and MAC addresses. JXTA enables end-to-end bidirectional communication over NA(P)T and firewall (even if the FW allows only unidirectional HTTP). This function supports parallel processing in the message-passing model, not only master-worker model.

It focuses on the needs of those developing applications for distributed computing systems, and on PC desktop grids in particular, and seeks to ensure that application developers are given enough knowledge of system issues to be able to appreciate what is needed for the optimum performance of their own applications. Within metrology, the use of more comprehensive and realistic mathematical models that require extensive computing resources for their solution is increasing. The motivation for the guide is that in several areas of metrology the computational requirements of such models are so demanding that there is a strong requirement for distributed processing using parallel computing on PC networks. Those who need to use such technology can benefit from guidance on how best to structure the models and software to allow the effective use of distributed computing.

A grid uses the resources of many separate computers, loosely connected by a network, to solve large-scale computation problems. Our approach was as follows first computationally large data is split into a number of smaller, more manageable, working units secondly each work-unit is then sent to one member of the grid ,That member completes processing of that work-unit in its own and sends back the result. In this architecture, there needs to be at least one host that performs the task of assigning work-units, and then sending them, to a remote processor, as well as receive the results from remote processors. We call this unit as the Network Manager. In addition to this assigning, sending and receiving the work-units and results, there also is the need for a host that splits tasks into work-units and assimilates the received work units. We call this unit as the Task Broker, which we propose to design. On the server end, there is a program for processing module, splitter and assimilator (broker).
