In this paper, we present an original approach for the design and execution of distributed applications that require numerous tasks of variable grain. The approach is based on the concept of task cluster which is an entity that groups tasks with strong logical interaction and that guarantees efficient communications between them. We describe the implementation of the model, that mainly relies on the use of lightweight processes as support for the distributed tasks. We also illustrate the use of the proposed approach on real size applications where it has improved both the ease of design and the performance.
