grid API

Alchemi is an open source software framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of networked machines into a virtual supercomputer (computational grid) and to develop applications to run on the grid.

It has been designed with the primary goal of being easy to use without sacrificing power and flexibility.

Alchemi includes:

• The runtime machinery (Windows executables) to construct computational grids.
• A .NET API and tools to develop .NET grid applications and grid-enable legacy applications.

Features

• Simple installation via Windows installers.
• Machines can be on a LAN or the Internet.
• Machines can be behind firewalls and NAT servers.
• Only idle CPU time of machines on the grid is used; user programs are not impacted.
• Object-oriented "grid thread" programming model for grid application development.
• File-based "grid job" model for grid-enabling legacy applications.
• Web services interface for interoperability with other grid middleware.
• VS.NET design-time support (reusable WinForms components).
