Recent years have seen rapid increases in the power of parallel computers. However, easy, efficient use of these resources has been hampered by lack of appropriate software tools. To address this, we have developed POET, the Parallel Object-oriented Environment and Toolkit. POET is a frame-based approach to scientific computing on parallel platforms. It seeks to insulate the user from the details of implementing an efficient parallel solution to the user`s problem, freeing the user to concentrate on the details of the physics behind the model. We will discuss our use of POET on DAISy, our cluster of Pentium Pro workstations.
