OfficeGRID®
Most offices are not populated outside normal working hours, 8am to 4pm on
working days, this implies that the computing resources are unused about 128
out of 168 hours each week. The vision of MESH-Technologies is to allow
for the constructive use of these hours of wasted time. Would you allow any
other of your company's resources to be utilized less than 10%? (according to Microsoft
SIGMetrics paper, 1998-2000) OfficeGRID glues this pool of unused
computational power together, thus making in possible to utilize a
great percentage of that otherwise unused computer time.

Features |
(click the links below to learn more) |
-
Cross platform - Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT, Mac OS X and many flavors of Linux/UNIX.
-
An easy to use graphical interface for submission of jobs to the Grid.
-
Simple, yet powerful, command line interface commands.
-
All the features available in the graphical interface can also be
accessed via a Windows, Mac or Linux/UNIX command line interface. This
makes scripting and tight integration with other applications
very easy.
-
Workers run while screen saver mode is active.
-
Parameter studies are made easy through a simple job description language.
-
Simply specify the application, the parameter ranges and the stepping
values, and submit the job description. All the desired
scenarios are automatically created and submitted to the Grid for
parallel execution.
-
A flexible Grid application programming interface (API).
-
Implements a "pull" Grid model instead of the tradional "push" model.
-
A simple and easy to use batch system lets you execute programs on the
office Grid.
-
Dynamic Grid structure, where computers can come and go.
-
Fault tolerant communication.
-
Multi core support.
-
Easy Grid configuration.
-
Full support for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
-
No lost jobs.
-
Save power with Wake on LAN support.
-
Users retain their usual environment in jobs.
-
Grid jobs are executed in the usual environment of the user. Local applications and environment settings are
therefore available during job execution.
-
Extensive support.
