Maplesoft released Grid Computing Toolbox, which enables distributed computing using Maple, the primary tool for engineers, to solve complex mathematical problems and create rich technical documents. The simplicity in setting up this toolbox is one of its key features. 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. It also integrates into existing job scheduling systems.An earlier version of the Grid Computing Toolbox was available as HPC Grid and was sold as a third party MapleConnect product by Maplesoft.
“The Grid Computing Toolbox allows users to distribute computations across the nodes of a network of workstations, a supercomputer, or across the CPUs of a multiprocessor machine,” said Laurent Bernardin, Vice President of Research and Development, Maplesoft. “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.”
