In this paper we propose a generic pipeline for all-pairs computations on a cluster of workstations. We use this generic pipeline to derive specific cluster algorithms for three different all-pairs problems: n-body simulation, bubble sort, and Gaussian elimination. We implement the generic pipeline and its derivatives on a cluster of Intel Pentium II workstations using C and the PVM cluster computing environment. We measure and evaluate the performance of the derived algorithms. The n-body and bubble sort algorithms achieve super-linear speedup for large problems.
