Abstract
In this paper, we present the developments realized in the OURAGAN project around the parallelization of a MATLAB-like tool called SCILAB. These devel opments use high-performance numerical libraries and different approaches b ased either on the duplication Of SCI LAB processes or on computational ser vers. This tool, SCILAB(//), allows users to perform high-level operations on distributed matrices in a metacomputing environment. We also present per formance results on different architectures.
