  abstract = {Existing parallel programming environments for networks of
  workstations improve the performance of computationally intensive
  applications by using message passing or virtual shared memory to alleviate
  CPU bottlenecks. This paper describes an approach based on message passing
  that addresses both CPU and I/O bottlenecks for a specific class of
  distributed applications on ATM networks. ATM provides the bandwidth required
  to utilize multiple I/O channels in parallel. This paper also describes an
  environment based on distributed process management and centralized
  application management that implements the approach. The environment adds
  processes to a running application when necessary to alleviate CPU and I/O
  bottlenecks while managing process connections in a manner that is
  transparent to the application.}
