Dear All,
If you have seen the Amazon EC2 video, the version of jEPlus used in that demo is now available for download!
The package is called jEPlus+Net, which is designed to help you create an ad hoc computer cluster with minimum effort. To see how to use it, please check out the tutorial video: http://youtu.be/lHnyQAe1SYc
Now, before you can download the package, there is a catch - You will need to register on the website! I think I have a good reason for making this a requirement. Although jEPlus+Net has been used and improved over the past couple of years, and is fairly stable, it is a new computing scenario that many are unfamiliar with. The program distributes E+ jobs to other computers via the network, and collects back simulation results. Since both E+ input and output files are substantial in size, jEPlus+Net can generate heavy network traffic that, in some cases, can bring down your office/campus network. This is the nature of such (distributed computing) approach, rather than an issue with jEPlus+Net. So I need you to use it with care, and always start with a small cluster.
For the time being, jEPlus+Net is made available as an experimental tool for those who understand the ‘risk’ and choose to use it. Registering on the website is a small test of your commitment ;-)
So here is the link: http://www.iesd.dmu.ac.uk/~jeplus/wiki/doku.php?id=jeplusplus:jeplusnet
The website is the new home for jEPlus. It is still under construction; so please bear with those broken links. To register, click on the Login button on the top right corner; the register link is right beneath the input boxes.
Best regards,
Yi
