The Mobile Agents model has the potential to provide a flexible framework to face the challenges of High Performance Computing, especially when targeted towards heterogeneous distributed architectures. We developed a framework for supporting programming and execution of mobile agent based distributed applications, the MAGDA (Mobile AGents Distributed Applications) toolset. It supplements mobile agent technology with a set of features for supporting parallel programming on a dynamic heterogeneous distributed environment.
