Clustor is software for high performance computing.
It's based on a
simple, yet extremely powerful concept, called parametric
execution.
Parametric execution occurs when an application performs the
same
calculation numerous times with different input parameters,
such as
Monte Carlo simulations used in Financial Risk Management.
To perform
parametric executions, the user simply provides the
application to be
executed on a cluster and values for the parameters.
Clustor does the
rest. It generates jobs to be computed, manages their
execution, and
collects the results.
Clustor harvests your computers while they are idle,
increasing the
utilization of your existing equipment, creating a network
of machines
that never sleep. Clustor generates jobs, executes them, and
collects
the results, distributing them over local area networks or
the
Internet. Additional security features enhance the operating
systems. Clustor also provides extensive logging and
diagnostics and
includes remote management features.
