Nimrod/G v2.0 Released by the Nimrod Project (20th of June 2004)
DSTC and Monash University are proud to announce the release of Nimrod/G v2.0. Nimrod/G v2.0 builds on the earlier releases (v1.0 and v1.1), but has been restructured to provide greater scalability, stability and accessibility. Nimrod/G 2.0 uses the same simple declarative parametric modeling language used by earlier versions to express a parameter sweep experiments. It provides machinery that automates the task of formulating, running, monitoring, and collating the results from the multiple individual experiments. Like the earlier versions, v2.0 uses the Globus grid middleware.
Shipping with Nimrod/G 2.0 is the Nimrod Portal, which simplifies the process of creating and monitoring experiments. The Portal leverages existing Java enabled Web browsers to deliver a powerful but familiar user interface. It can be launched from any location that has web connectivity, removing the need for users to log on to specific machines.
A source distribution is currently available for download. Binary distributions for different operating systems and architectures will be available in the near future.
