What is ComputeGrid?

WebSphere Compute Grid


Several new computing paradigms have emerged that solve specific batch-related issues. However, used independently, these computing paradigms often fail to take into account enterprise requirements that mission-critical, batch applications must meet. The requirements for batch go beyond the simple task of quickly processing data.



Next generation batch systems must take into account requirements from sophisticated batch customers and leverage existing infrastructures as best they can while incorporating the best practices and lessons learned from the emerging paradigms of HPC, XTP, grid computing, and utility computing. New infrastructures must adapt and easily incorporate future technologies.

The applications hosted within this infrastructure must leverage modern tooling and programming best practices. To summarize, next generation batch processing systems must be agile enough to meet requirements from customers of all shapes and sizes. Compute Grid delivers an enterprise grid and batch processing infrastructure that has incorporated several key best practices from these computing paradigms. More importantly, it has been significantly influenced through development partnerships with customers that are heavily dependent on batch. Continue Reading...

Collaborative creation!
Swiss Re and IBM collaborate on modern batch processing for z/OS
Swiss Re and IBM joined forces early on to design IBM WebSphere XD Compute Grid. A true partnership, the collaboration ensured that Swiss Re’s requirements, concerns, and issues were quickly resolved, while IBM had a sounding board to identify new product features and validate ideas of interest to the z/OS community, where batch processing is tremendously important.

Interact and Try
WebSphere Compute Grid Forum and Trial Download.
Download WebSphere Compute Grid V6.1, which lets you schedule, execute, and monitor batch jobs. Because online transaction processing and batch jobs execute simultaneously on the same server resources, you can avoid costly duplication of resources. Compute Grid supports job types of Java™ transactional batch, compute-intensive and a new type called "native execution", which enables non-Java workloads to run on distributed end points.
View, Ask, Participate, and Learn on the various topics surrounding WebSphere Compute Grid. This Forum is here for you and your development needs. Photobucket

Batch Programming
Introduction to Batch using ComputeGrid
Commonly thought of as a legacy "mainframe" technology, batch processing is showing itself to be a venerable workload style with growing demand in Java™ and distributed environments. This article introduces an exciting new capability for Java batch processing from IBM®, the leader in batch processing systems for the last 40 years.

Batch programming model
A Compute Grid batch application consists of a set of POJOs and runs under the control of the Compute Grid batch container, which itself runs as an extension to a standard WebSphere Application Server. Figure 2 depicts the application components and their relationship to the batch container.
