Nimrod/G v2.0 Released By Nimrod Project
DSTC and Monash University are proud to announce the release of Nimrod/G v2.0.
Nimrod/G v2.0 builds on the earlier releases (v1.0 and v1.1), but has been
restructured to provide greater scalability, stability and accessibility.
Nimrod/G 2.0 uses the same simple declarative parametric modeling language
used by earlier versions to express a parameter sweep experiments. It provides
machinery that automates the task of formulating, running, monitoring, and
collating the results from the multiple individual experiments. Like the
earlier versions, v2.0 uses the Globus Grid middleware.
Shipping with Nimrod/G 2.0 is the Nimrod Portal, which simplifies the process
of creating and monitoring experiments. The Portal leverages existing Java
enabled Web browsers to deliver a powerful but familiar user interface. It can
be launched from any location that has web connectivity, removing the need for
users to log on to specific machines.
A source distribution is currently available for download. Binary
distributions for different operating systems and architectures will be
available in the near future.
