Abstract
A short presentation and a benchmark of a prototyping tool that facilitates the use of a network of computers or a parallel computer to solve course-grained large-scale problems are the subjects of this paper. The benchmark is concerning systems in a range of tens to hundreds ordinary differential equations solved by parallel numerical methods.
