What's in it for developers?

The Digipede Network Developer Edition contains the full functionality of the Digipede Network Team Edition. The Digipede Network is a distributed computing solution that delivers dramatically improved performance for real-world applications. Built entirely on the .Microsoft NET platform, it is radically easier to install, learn, and use than other grid computing solutions.

The Digipede Network comes with the Digipede Framework SDK (Software Development Kit) which makes it easy to add the power of grid computing to the applications.

What it offers?

  • One Digipede Server;
  • License to install the Digipede Agent on two processors;
  • The Digipede Workbench; and
  • The Digipede Framework SDK, which can be used to build distributed applications, or to grid-enable your existing applications.

The Digipede Network consists of the Digipede Agents, which manage each of the individual desktops, servers, or cluster nodes; and the Digipede Server, which is responsible for managing the workflow through the system. The Digipede Network includes the following components that aid in creating, submitting, and monitoring jobs:

The Digipede Framework SDK:


The Digipede Framework SDK lets developers add the power of grid computing to any application with as few as 20 lines of new code. The API (Application Programming Interface) supports distributed execution of .NET objects and COM servers and the software runs seamlessly on the grid. The Digipede Framework SDK works with any .NET or COM supporting language and plugs directly into Visual Studio, so the developers can continue to use the tools and languages they already know.



The Digipede Agent:


Each Agent gathers key information about the PC on which it runs, including hardware, software, and data resources available locally. Using this information, the Agent chooses the best work for that computer. For many real-world business applications, this approach of pushing decision making to the edge of the network improves the scalability, reliability, flexibility, and throughput over other "command and control" scheduling systems.



The Digipede Control:


The Digipede Control is the administrative software for the Digipede Network. It allows for checking information about jobs, compute resources, data resources and pools in the system. It also provides for Digipede administrator to add or change information about Digipede users and to configure the Agents.



The Digipede Workbench:


The Digipede Workbench is designed to shorten the learning curve and enable productivity with the system immediately. The Workbench features a rich user interface for running distributed computing jobs - unlike other systems that require complex scripting. Wizards assist in learning and using the system quickly and powerful designers provide access to greater system functionality.
