Dear all, We have just released an updated version of Vishwa distributed computing middleware which is freely available for download and use (available at http://dos.iitm.ac.in/vishwanew/ ). It is a lightweight middleware making it easy for executing tasks in parallel across multiple machines in a cloud/grid/cluster. The middleware can be set up by simply downloading two jar files and the only dependency being the availability of Java runtime environment. Basic programming knowledge in Java is the only pre-condition for the user.
The basic tutorials for setting up and writing your first Vishwa program are available at http://dos.iitm.ac.in/vishwanew/?page_id=99 and http://dos.iitm.ac.in/vishwanew/?page_id=31 . We believe that it could be a valuable tool, both for educational purposes in universities and distributed processing requirements. Vishwa is a peer-to-peer node-capability aware and fault-tolerant grid. More details are available in the research publications (http://dos.iitm.ac.in/vishwanew/?page_id=141). A public mailing list ( http://groups.google.com/group/vishwausers/ ) is set up for discussing doubts, suggestions etc. Currently, Vishwa supports fully parallel tasks. Support for connected computations will be added soon. Vishwa is developed at DOS lab, Dept. of CSE, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras ( http://dos.iitm.ac.in ). Sincerely, Harisankar H, PhD student, DOS lab, IIT Madras
