Digipede Network 2.0
Digipede is pleased to announce the release of the Digipede Network 2.0. We’ve worked hard to enhance the industry’s leading .NET-based grid computing platform, and we’ve got a lot of great features for users, developers, and administrators alike.
A more powerful API gives you more control over your distributed jobs and the multi-processor, multi-core machines they run on. Improvements to Digipede Control allow administrators to easily manage far larger numbers of compute resources on a grid. Better integration with Microsoft® products like Visual Studio and Active Directory means that the Digipede Network fits even more seamlessly into your Windows-based enterprise.
General Features
- Windows Authentication: The Digipede Network now integrates with your existing security to verify the users on the system—no more Digipede user names and passwords.
- E-mail notification: Users and administrators can now receive e-mail notifications on jobs and tasks.
- Increased performance: You may notice increased performances in some workloads – especially short tasks with significant amounts of data.
Digipede Framework SDK Features
- Visual Studio 2005 Debugging Package: The Digipede Framework SDK includes a Visual Studio package that allows developers to debug their distributed processes directly in Visual Studio.
- Finer control of distributed processes: You have more control than ever of how your distributed processes run (in one or multiple processes, per machine or per core), and better control over each thread (allowing you to modify ThreadContext).
- App.config file support: If your distributed process requires an app.config file, the Digipede Network can now distribute that file as part of your .NET application.
Digipede Control Features
- Drop down menus: Digipede Control’s main menu bar now puts more options within a single click, including easier ways for users to find out what’s happening on the system right now.
- Action buttons: Many pages now feature “action buttons” that allow single-click control over jobs and compute resources.
- More server configuration: Administrators have more configuration options than ever for administering their network.
- Personalized Menus: Users now have a “My” menu, with links for their jobs, their pools, and their settings – including the ability to customize their view in My Settings.
