The DistributedRunManager (DRM) is a C++ library for distributing a computing task among a number of computer systems for parallel processing on a network. The library was originally designed to accelerate synthetic image production for tomographic images, but is also a general solution for distributing a software task across diverse, multiple hardware platforms. The DRM self-configures using a novel C++ class, the ElectionManager. This class selects a server cooperatively at runtime and eliminates the need for a priori distribution configuration. All communication, logging, and fault-tolerance mechanisms are encapsulated by the DRM, providing a "black-box" interface to the application developer.
