Xoreax Grid Engine - Overview

XGE, short for Xoreax Grid Engine, is a Grid Computing platform for accelerating computational processes running on MS Windows. XGE is particularly effective in rapidly migrating existing products and applications to Grid technology, while requiring only minimal changes to existing code and architecture.

XGE's architecture allows up to a X20 improvement in performance to be obtained, in addition to improved scalability and usability. As a result, HPC capabilities can be obtained without the need for expensive dedicated hardware and software.

Xoreax Grid Engine advantages

• Dramatic Performance Improvement: Through XGE, up to a X20 improvement in performance may be obtained.
• Exceptionally Rapid Integration: Typically, little or no changes to your code are required in order to convert your application into a high-performance grid-enabled solution. Simple XML definition files define how processes are to be distributed to the Grid, while XGE's Process-level Virtualization technology (see below) automatically manages the rest.
• Near-Zero Maintenance: XGE's proprietary process-level Virtualization technology eliminates the need to manage and maintain complex server image repositories on the grid nodes, and actively keep the grid environment synchronized with the most recent application environment.
• Reduced Costs: XGE utilizes idle processing power of active office PCs and servers, reducing the need for expensive dedicated servers and additional third-party software.
• Robust, fault-tolerant operation: Intelligent algorithms such as customizable error-recovery, automated fallback to a backup Coordinator (server) and more are incorporated to ensure the highest possible reliability.
• Widespread, proven technology: Providing Grid Computing infrastructure since 2002 and trusted daily by some 100,000 users in over 50 countries, XGE is one of mostly widely used Grid Computing platforms available today.
• Free to try: Download XGE today and see how simple it is to Grid-enable your applications. To have a Xoreax Grid Computing engineer contact you and advise on the best way to accelerate your product or computational process using XGE, fill in this form or email xge@xoreax.com.
