JPPF makes it easy to parallelize computationally intensive tasks and execute them on a Grid
JPPF 6.2 alpha new features highlights
Tasks dependencies
- tasks within the same job can now depend on each other
- JPPF guarantees that all dependencies of a task are executed before it can start
- traversal of the tasks graph can be performed on either server or client side
- built-in detection and handling of dependency cycles
JPPF in Docker containers and Kubernetes
- the JPPF drivers, nodes and web administration console are now available as Docker images, publicly available on Docker Hub
- JPPF grids can be deployed on Kubernetes clusters using the JPPF Helm chart
- JPPF grids can also be deployed on Docker swarm clusters as Docker service stacks
Performance improvement
A new client-side cache of class definitions was implemented, to improve the overall dynamic class loading performance.
