Instant-Grid 1.0 (Default branch) |
|
|
Instant-Grid is a Knoppix-based live-CD bundled
with a pre-configured grid environment based on
the Globus Toolkit. One PC started from this CD
becomes the Instant-Grid frontend. It also
functions as a PXE boot-server, allowing other PCs
in the same local network to boot the Instant-Grid
environment. Together with the frontend, these PCs
automatically form a working test grid. Like with
the original Knoppix, the existing configuration
of the participating PC is not touched (except
maybe for enabling the PXE boot-option), and
remains instantly available by a simple reboot.

Changes:
This version has a newly designed user interface
improving its accessibility for beginners, which
is further enhanced by new flash videos showcasing
the most important features. Also new is the
integration of the graphical workflow manager
GWES. Its capabilities are demonstrated by a demo
version of ERAMAS, an environmental simulation
tool, and by a new POV-Ray renderfarm based on
workflows. Furthermore, it is possible for the
first time to use external resources, which
requires a D-Grid certificate.
