Computer clusters are an efficient solution for high performance data processing. A cluster is formed by grouping a lot of processors in network, assisted with sofware libraries which enable it to share computing effort to process parallel programs. This sharing is possible due to managing properly cluster resources, which means tasks allocation and assignment of priorities. This paper introduces results obtained with the project Wiglaf - Development of a Web Front-End to Remote Management of Serial and Parallel Programs on Beowulf Clusters - whose purpose is to provide a way in which users and managers of a Beowulf cluster can submit tasks, get back their results, as well as manage and keep track of the progress of their execution. Therefore the main contribution of this project is based on make more convenient operations on this kind of clusters.
