NetBuild: Automated Installation and Use of Network-Accessible Software Libraries
Keith Moore, Jack Dongarra, Shirley Moore, Eric Grosse
NetBuild is a suite of tools designed to aid users in making use of computational software libraries that are stored on the network, without needing to have those libraries preinstalled on each user's computer. Instead, the NetBuild client determines which libraries are not installed, identifies suitable versions of those libraries that are accessible from the network, downloads those libraries, and links them into the user's program. This report describes the current status of the NetBuild project, recent progress, and future plans.
