HPC-Grid
 Intended
Audience:
- Users with a network of workstations such as a Beowulf cluster
or multi-processer machine.
- Users needing to run large numeric or symbolic
computations using Maple.
Product Description:
 HPC-Grid
for Maple is a Distributed Computing package using the Maple technical
computation system.
HPC-Grid allows users to distribute computations across the nodes of
a network of workstations, a supercomputer or across the CPUs of a multiprocessor
machine. This allows for the handling of problems that are not tractable
on a single machine because of memory limitations or because it would
simply take too long.
HPC-Grid is simple to set up. Users start a server process on each machine
on a network and the grid will self-assemble as each node automatically
detects the other nodes that are present. HPC-Grid also integrates into
existing job scheduling systems like PBS.
In order to perform distributed computations, HPC-Grid offers an MPI-like
message passing API as well as a set of high-level parallelization commands.
