| * In [[parallel computing]], it takes a long time to manually load a new program on every node of a large [[computer cluster]] or [[distributed computing]] system. Automatically loading new programs using [[mobile agent]]s can save the system administrator a lot of time and give users their results much quicker, as long as they don't get out of control. | | * In [[parallel computing]], it takes a long time to manually load a new program on every node of a large [[computer cluster]] or [[distributed computing]] system.
