Hi there,
I just wanted to inform you that I finally upgraded my Debian packages to
the current version (2.10.1). They are available from the following locations:
http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~mquinson/grid.html#nws
deb http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~mquinson/grid unstable
deb-src http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~mquinson/grid unstable
Features over the regular version:
- configuration using debconf (in 5 questions)
- nws_setup: script to start, stop, test the NWS processes and activities
on the local host, according to a nws.conf file specifying
what to run.
- nws_ctrl_activity : activity managing tool (start, stop, test)
- new skill: CpuCount. Gives you the number of CPU on the target host.
- all binaries name are prefixed with 'nws_' (namespace depolution)
- improvement: activation of the ADAPT option to hybridCpu skill. Check my
PhD thesis manuscript to see the (tremendous) improvements it gives on
reactivity (speed of detection that a new task is running on the host).
All the patches applied over the regular tarball are listed separately on
the web page, and contain a small explanation about their action.
The i386 and Alpha version are available, the powerpc one is a bit lagging
since I've lost the use of my ppc compilation node (should be fixed within
the day). Now that I catched up with Graziano's and Cie work, I'll try not
to get distanced again in the future...
I'm now looking how to get those packages into the main Debian archive. I
guess it could be done within a month or so. I'll keep you informed about
that, but please give those packages a try. I'd like to fix any issue with
them before they arrive on the Debian servers and get a wider audience.
Thanks, Mt.
PS: This page also contains packages for the APST and the SimGrid, which
licence is will soon be cleared. If you know a cool grid program which is
not packaged yet, just let me know. Nope, neither Globus nor NetSolve belong
to the "cool" category (they seem impossible to package properly for Debian)
