JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the server health and server shutdown/restart operations.License: The Apache License 2.0Changes:
Nodes can now be restarted or shut down remotely from the administration console or via the API. Tasks can be executed locally by the client, with automatic load-balancing between local and remote execution. The node security policy can be downloaded from the server for easier deployment. The nodes collect the CPU time used by the tasks.
