Welcome to the OptimalGrid Developer's Page! We've been waiting for you.
Up until now, we've built a few OptimalGrid applications ourselves, and
we've worked with a few partners to build a few more, but now we're ready
to work with external folks on building larger, impressive applications
that can really exploit the power of OptimalGrid.
- The first thing you'll want to read is the
overview article on OptimalGrid.
- Next, you'll want to read the
OptimalGrid Tutorial. (Yes, you have to register with
developerWorks to read the tutorial, but it's worth it.)
- While you're there, reading the tutorial, check out the other
interesting stuff on the
AlphaWorks OptimalGrid Page.
- Be sure to read the
Administrative Guide. That
will tell you all sorts of useful things regarding the care
and feeding of OptimalGrid.
- Check the
project FAQ (frequently asked questions)
for any quirky problems. It's nice to be forewarned about
odd things that might happen.
- Download the OptimalGrid Package (press the "Download Now" button
on the
AlphaWorks OptimalGrid Page).
- Enjoy reading the registration forms and license agreement,
then please fill in the forms and accept the evaluation license.
Accepting the license will start the download.
Now that you have the package, try running the example shown in the
tutorial.
We've included the
JavaDoc for the entire OptimalGrid project,
even though regular users will not have access to the majority
of the methods and classes shown here. The full JavaDoc is included
mainly for your interest.
We're anxious to hear from you. We'd love to run more problems
on our in-house 70 node cluster, and we'd love to run some larger
configurations (say, 500 nodes), assuming we can collect the resources
in the IBM intranet (or elsewhere) to do it.
Please pardon our slight attempt at "encrypting" the email addresses
to prevent the automatic spam address gatherers from grabbing our
email addresses and giving us even more spam:
