Distributed Computation Framework / News: Recent posts

A first developers guide for the Distributed Computation Framework (DCF) was released and can be found here: http://dcf.sourceforge.net/devguide.html
The guide explains the main components of the system and then shows you how to create a Task-Solver pair so you can run it in the DCF.

There is a new release for the Distributed Computation Framework.

Release Notes for dcf-alpha-120302
----------------------------------
1. The server now holds references to clients.
2. When a client gets a task the server registers
that the task was given to the client.
3. ClientsUpdater goes through the server's
clients list and validates the client's
status. If the connection has been broken the
task is restored.
4. Task progress is monitored by ClassUpdater.
5. Client GUI has a progress bar to show the
current task's progress.

The Distributed Computation Framework is a Java based Server/Client program for the distribution of tasks over a network of coputers.

This release has an included HTTP server for classfile serving to RMI clients and some improved GUI (client and sever)

The first alpha version of DCF has been released.
