    Summary: The ANTS Load Balancing System
    Description: 
    The ANTS Load Balancing System is a piece of software that will allow jobs to be
    executed on computers connected in a network (eg. a Beowulf). The node best
    suited (at the time of execution) for the job given, will be chosen to execute
    the job.
    
    This is an approach different from that of traditional Queue systems. A job is
    not queued, it is executed immediately if any suitable host (for the given job
    type) can be found. This makes the system suitable for execution of a large
    number of small jobs, such as compilers. A traditional queue system will often
    take up too much time managing it's queues, to allow tasks such as large-scale
    compilations to gain much speedup using it.
