Wolfram Lightweight Grid Manager is an application that
makes it easy to discover and connect to Mathematica computation
kernels on remote computers. It immediately makes your
idle hardware and software resources available to your
whole workgroup, lending more CPU power to parallel
Mathematica tasks. Wolfram Lightweight Grid
Manager is included with gridMathematica Server,
is available for other Mathematica licenses
as a free benefit of Premier Service, and can
also be purchased.
Using
Wolfram Lightweight Grid Client, built into every
copy of Mathematica since Version 7, users
can immediately see all the computers that have been
made available to them on their local network. All
they have to do is select which ones they want to
use and how many Mathematica computation
kernels to run on each.
Once
the grid is set up, parallel tasks are automatically
distributed over all available kernels. Start-up,
communication, failure recovery, shutdown, and queuing
of local and remote tasks are all automated. The combined
CPU power of all of your hardware is seamlessly utilized
from the users' desktop copies of Mathematica.
You
are in control of the computers, deciding who has
access to each machine and how many Mathematica
computation kernels each can run. Logging tools let
you monitor use and look for potential problems. All
this is managed with a web interface.
