Grid-Enabling Applications with XGE

Many time-consuming computational processes, whether they are components of a commercial product or part of an organization's internal IT infrastructure, can benefit dramatically from leveraging the computing power of computers in the local network to speed up the computational process. The combined processing power of these computers, combined with parallel computing techniques is called Grid Computing, and can often provide supercomputing-level processing performance at a fraction of the cost. XGE was designed to make acceleration of existing applications through Grid Computing technology as simple and as effective as possible.

XGE can help accelerate time-consuming computational processes in a wide variety of computational fields, including (and not limited to):

• Engineering
• Finance
• Design and Manufacturing
• 3D and Graphics
• Logical Circuits
• Energy
• Simulation
• Data Conversion

Grid-Enabling Applications with XGE

If your time-consuming, Windows-based computational process consists of a set of independent computational tasks that can each be run as an individual process, your applications is an excellent candidate for acceleration through the Xoreax Grid Engine.

Typically, Grid-enablement with XGE involves the following simple 3-step process:

1. Write a small XML file that describes the elements (e.g. executables) you wish to distribute to the grid farm.
   
2. After installing Agents and a Coordinator, run the computational process through the XGE application interface.
3. That's it! your application will run through the XGE grid. XGE's Process-level Virtualization technology Will ensure that tasks run on the different machines in the grid farm will produce correct result, regardless of whether these machines have the necessary software or input files installed locally.

For real-life examples of how XGE was used to speed up different types of applications, see our case studies section.
