OmniRPC: a Grid RPC system for Parallel Programming in Cluster and Grid Environment.
- To support typical master-worker grid applications such
as a parametric execution.
- OmniRPC provides an automatic-initializable
remote module to send and store data to a remote executable invoked in
the remote host. Since it may accept several requests for subsequent
calls by keeping the connection alive, the data set by the
initialization is re-used, resulting in efficient execution by
reducing the amount of communication.
- The OmniRPC system also supports a local environment with "rsh", a
grid environment with Globus, and remote hosts with
"ssh". Furthermore, the user can use the same
program over OmniRPC for both clusters and grids because a typical
grid resource is regarded simply as a cluster of clusters distributed
geo-graphically.
- For a cluster over a private network, an agent
process running the server host functions as a proxy to relay
communications between the client and the remote executables by
multiplexing the communications into one connection to the
client. This feature allows a single client to use a thousand of
remote computing hosts.
- OmniRPC inherits its API from Ninf, the programmer can use OpenMP
for easy-to- use parallel programming because the API is designed to
be thread-safe.
- We release 2nd version(2.0.1). You can download and try it.
