JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the server health and server shutdown/restart operations. License: The Apache License 2.0 Changes: A new networking tool, the TCP port multiplexer, was implemented to enable JPPF to work in firewalled environments. It enables the routing of all JPPF network traffic through a single port, without any modification to the existing applications. A new node management feature was added that enables updating a node's execution thread pool dynamically. A new node monitoring feature was added, allowing the collection of the node's system and Java environments. Several bugs were fixed that caused errors to be raised when management was disabled in a server or a node.
