In this paper, we present the developments realized in the OURAGAN project around the parallelization of a MATLAB-like tool called SCILAB. These developments use high performance numerical libraries and different approaches based either on the duplication of SCILAB processes or on computational servers. This tool, SCILAB, allows users to perform high leveloperations on distributed matrices in a metacomputing environment. We also present performance results on different architectures.
