We describe the concept, functional capabilities, graphic user interface (GUI), and operating technique of a specialized system for distributing the computational burden encountered in solving typical problems of controlled thermonuclear fusion. The system is employed in the Virtual Tokamak simulation modeling complex to automate the distribution of computing on a network of computers, making it possible to dramatically improve the productivity of a researcher’s work. The system is useful in various applications that require massive multivariate calculations using one or more application codes, and for supporting websites that provide computing services using locally stored science-intensive application software.
