Java-Centric Grid Computing: Ibis 1.0 Released

rvannieuwpoort writes "Ibis 1.0 has been released. Ibis is a flexible and efficient Java-based programming environment for Grid computing. Ibis improves Java's serialization and RMI performance up to a factor of 10. It also extends Java with a range of communication paradigms, including group communication, divide-and-conquer and collective communication. An additional nice feature of Ibis is that it can communicate through firewalls, without opening ports, using TCP. Ibis is free software (BSD-style license). It runs on any platform that has a Java 1.4 or higher JVM."

  1. Sample code? by Saiyine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should include in the web some sort of example of a working distributed program, maybe something so simple as a "Hello world!" with every node writing a single chat in a array...

    Just an idea!

    As a developer I just love working examples.
