GridGain 2.0.3 Is Available!

by Nikita Ivanov 

After several weeks of exhausting testing we've released GridGain 2.0.3. This release is probably one of the most tested releases to date. The goal of this release was to improve stability under the edge/failure cases in large deployments.

We have worked with several of our customers that have GridGain in large production deployments. That gave us plenty of ammunition for scalability and performance testing. As always, this release includes number of documentation improvements, new examples and several new functional areas such as Java5 executor service integration.

Release notes are available here and downloads are at the usual location.

Enjoy!

Open Source Grid and Cluster Conference

by Nikita Ivanov 

I'm going to be presenting at Open Source Grid and Cluster Conference this Thursday, May 15th, 2008 at Oakland, CA.

This is special type of presentation as this conference is right in the venue of GridGain does - open source grid computing. I will be doing a short 30 mins "GridGain - Java Grid Computing Made Simple" presentation in the morning and then participate in a power panel "Trends in Open Source Data Grids" with folks from Grid Engine, GigaSpaces and Hadoop.

That's going to be interesting :)

GridGain 2.0.2 Is Available!

by Nikita Ivanov 


Another point release in 2.0 branch with many bug fixes and documentation improvements. One of the notable improvements is a modification to our P2P class loading to support our integration work with Groovy/Grails. We've also incorporated a good measure of feedback from our customers. As always, look at the release notes for more information.

GridGain 2.0.2 is probably last point release before we roll out 2.5 this summer that will contain number of new SPIs and major new functionality. Stay tuned!

GridGain At Emerging Systems, Inc For The Enterprise Conference

by Nikita Ivanov 

I am speaking at Emerging Systems, Inc for Enterprise 2008 conference this Thursday, March 27th at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you are attending this conference please come see my presentation - it will be interesting as always with me doing life coding demonstrations of grid computing. Isn't it fun to see someone life-coding a grid app just in front of your eyes (and by coding I mean typing it, testing, debugging and fixing some embarrassing bugs)? That must be :)

GridGain At Seattle JUG

by Nikita Ivanov 


I will be speaking at Seattle JUG today. It is going to be fine trip and an interesting presentation in the city harboring a lot of .NET folks. I'll be talking about "GridGain - Grid Computing Made Simple", my favorite presentation. I'll get to talk about what is GridGain and why it is important but most importantly show some real life coding demos.

If you see my presentations before you know that these demos are always life meaning that I don't prepare any code and don't know your power-point coding... I just open empty Eclipse, creating new project, and start coding away right in front of your eyes. You will see all, seriously all, there is to it to create an interesting grid-enabled example applications.

See you there!

Video: GridGain Presentation

by Nikita Ivanov 

Great presentation about GridGain: http://tomjadams.blip.tv/

Thanks a lot guys! As far as source code - we are taking it personally :) Size rarely matters and we think we have one of the cleanest, readable, consistent and well designed source codes available out there... Hundreds upon hundreds of code review is the clear reason for that.

GridGain 2.0 Is Finally Here!

by Nikita Ivanov 

It took us extra couple of weeks to fight last minute issues but... here it is, GridGain 2.0 with all the new features, integrations, bug-fixes, core hardening and improved documentation. We'll be updating our wiki-based documentation for the next week so please be patient if there are any discrepancies.

My favorite features: load balancing and data partitioning over any data cache. It is the load balancing that actually took us for a ride when last minute load tests showed non-optimal load balancing under the load. It took one of our best brains to actually notice that balanced distribution was off by ~5-10% and off we went into search for this small problem: is it test, is it something in OS, VM configurations, in the algorithm's math. In the end of the day it turned out to be related to a rounding bug in our code and it was quickly fixed. Along the way we actually made this SPI (adaptive load balancing SPI) more flexible via additional configuration.

I also want to thank all of our customers and users who tried GridGain and gave us back their feedback. It is absolutely clear to me that without this feedback GridGain would be a very different product by now.

So, download GridGain 2.0 and see what makes GridGain the fastest growing Java grid computing framework on the planet!

GridGain on Android - Live!

by Nikita Ivanov 

This is really exciting news for our project. Last week we've got a stripped down version of GridGain to start first time on the Android. Now, this may sound like a fairly simple undertaking but considering the limitation and current instability of Android platform - this took us awhile to actually workaround many current bugs and basic incompatibility of Android's Java 5 implementation. Check this log snapshot I took from our test setup:

Log snapshot...

We are moving full speed ahead with this development and we'll be publishing more information on upcoming integration of GridGain on Android.

GridGain: JBoss Cache and JBoss World 2008

by Nikita Ivanov 

I'm going to be presenting at JBoss World 2008 in Orlando on February 14th on topic of integration between GridGain and JBoss. If you are around - come see my presentation!

With upcoming GridGain 2.0 release we are going to round up our integration plans with JBoss by providing what I consider truly native blend-in integration. In fact, when you use GridGain with JBoss, GridGain basically becomes a part of JBoss container that looks as if it just acquired new functionality. Here's the list of integration points that we implement in totality with GridGain 2.0 (most of them has been available since GridGain 1.6):

  • Loader for JBoss AS
  • Support for and integration with JBoss AOP
  • Integration with JBoss JMX
  • Integration with JBoss Logging
  • Integration with JBoss HA
  • Integration with JBoss Cache (including support for dynamic data partitioning, load balancing and affinity map/reduce)
  • Integration with JGroups
The reason I'm really excited about this integration is that it provides the first fully open source full-stack grid computing platform for Java, combining state of the art compute and data grid functionality.

And that's why I think open source Java grid computing has never been more exciting!

GridGain and EC2: Lice Example

by Nikita Ivanov 

I found this interesting blog by Jorge Lugo about how GridGain was deployed used in Amazon EC2. Very nice read with source code and diagrams. Short and to the point. We are actually planning for much deeper integration with EC2 infrastructure but even at this point EC2 deployment looks pretty cool.

Enjoy!
