Home : All Products : Maple Professional Toolbox Series : HPC-Grid Toolbox for Maple

Intended Audience: Users with a network of workstations such as a Beowulf cluster or multi-processor machine. Users needing to run large numeric or symbolic computations using Maple. Product Description: HPC-Grid for Maple is a Distributed Computing package using the Maple technical computation system. HPC-Grid allows users to distribute computations across the nodes of a network of workstations, a supercomputer or across the CPUs of a multiprocessor machine. This allows for the handling of problems that are not tractable on a single machine because of memory limitations or because it would simply take too long. HPC-Grid is simple to set up. Users start a server process on each machine on a network and the grid will self-assemble as each node automatically detects the other nodes that are present. HPC-Grid also integrates into existing job scheduling systems like PBS. In order to perform distributed computations, HPC-Grid offers an MPI-like message passing API as well as a set of high-level parallelization commands. For further information, please contact us Features list: Distribute Maple computations across a network Self-assembling grid in local networks Integration with PBS and other job scheduling systems MPI-like message passing API (send, receive, etc) High-level parallelization commands (map, evaluate, etc) Generic, parallel divide-and-conquer algorithm Many documented examples Supports heterogenous networks Access to all the computational power of Maple Technical Requirements Maple 9.03 or Maple 9.5 Windows 2000, 2003 or XP Linux (as supported by Maple) HPC-Grid is currently not supported on Macintosh or other platforms not mentioned above Pricing To purchase HPC-Grid , please visit our Web store or contact Maplesoft Sales.
