New Tools: GridScape - A Tool for Building Interactive and Dynamic Grid Testbed Web Portals
Gridscape enables the rapid creation of interactive and dynamic grid testbed portals without any programming effort.
New Tools: JGrid - A Jini-based Universal Service Grid
The JGrid project aims to develop a next-generation grid infrastructure based on Jini technology.
Cluster Opinion: The Ethernet Opportunity for Linux Clusters
Most clusters are built from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), or open source, components - with the exception of cluster interconnects. An open-standards based interconnect with low latency and high bandwidth could not only improve clusters' showing in the HPC arena, but would also contribute to clusters making significant headway into the enterprise and high-availability market.
The ATOLL System Area Network (SAN)
The ATOLL System Area Network (SAN) is a high performance chip implementation that integrates all required functions of a cluster communication system into a single chip. That hardware, combined with the ATOLL software library PALMS, delivers very low latency and high bandwidth.
Load Balancing and Failover in the JBoss Application Server
JBoss is an open-source application server that implements many features ofthe Java Enterprise (J2EE) specification. In addition, JBoss offers many features commonly required from enterprise-level application servers, such as clustering. This article focuses on the JBoss clustering architecture, and describes load balancing and failover on a JBoss cluster.
