Deb and RPM Installers

OurGrid components can now be installed via Debian and RPM packages. This feature will dramatically decrease configuration overhead, mainly regarding virtualization configuration and dependency management.

NEW

Issue #1081
Exe Installers

OurGrid is coming to Windows! Same benefits of the Deb installers plus sandboxing with Virtual Box, which wasn't supported in previous version.

NEW

Issue #1465
OurVirt

OurVirt is a Java API for Virtual Machine managers, developed in the LSD, UFCG. Emerged from the needs of the GenericExecutor (See below), which LibVirt didn't supply, OurVirt delivers a common interface for creating, starting, stopping, destroying, creating shared folders, mounting shared folders, getting status, executing commands, taking and restoring snapshots, cloning disks/images of virtual machines. Now it implements VServer and VirtualBox strategies.

NEW

Issue #1079
GenericExecutor

Isolates hypervisor-specific tasks from the Worker execution process. Now we use a single executor implementation for every sandbox strategy.

NEW

Issue #1466
Worker Admin Web

The Worker Admin goes to the web. Now we deploy a single web application for the administrator that wants to manage its OurGrid community remotely. Management means deploying, starting, stopping, killing process, issuing certificates, updating workers remotely via SSH.

NEW

Issue #1433
Certificate Requester Page
Issue #1261
- On the command line
Issue #1467
- On the Peer's GUI

Now the Worker components need an issued certificate provided by the Peer. The tools allow for easy certification generation/issuing on the Peer side. The certificate requester page has also a voluntary version, which create ready-to-donate Worker packages.

NEW

Issue #1769
REST Broker API

The REST Broker API is a service that allows to: Submit a job; Get a status list of all submitted jobs to the broker; Get the job status specified by the id; Cancel a job specified by the id; Clean a finished job filtered by id

CHANGED

Issue #1794
Grid Description File

The Peer configuration on Broker was changed, and the support for the GDF file was removed, by now we can set peers in the configuration file, using the broker.peer.address property.

CHANGED

Issue #1076
Dynamic Worker

The Dynamic Worker feature inverts the interest between the Peer and the Worker components. Now the Worker tries to login in its Peer during its starting process. If that Worker has a certificate issued by the Peer, the login process ends sucessfully and the Worker will be managed by that Peer. This feature allows for easy addition of new Workers and for voluntary computing.

CHANGED

Issue #1469
Voluntary Peer

A voluntary Peer does not check for issued Workers' certificates. In other words, it accepts any Worker who means to donate.

Issue #1485
On Demand Registration

A Peer that enables on-demand registration will accept any Brokers that wants to consume its resources, without any previous registration.

CHANGED

Issue #1305
Idleness Detector with Xidletime

Worker Idleness detector now works for USB devices. Using an adapted code of the libxprintidle, the Worker is now able to handle that kind of even.

Issue #1468
Worker Preempted Message

In the previous versions of OurGrid, when a Worker was preempted, the Broker waited for its failure. A single message called WorkerPreempted could avoid the dependency of the Failure Detector in this scenario, which will reduce makespan in certain scenarios.

CHANGED

Issue #1074
Discovery Service/Peer Scalability and Availability

Discovery Service Availability feature introduces the concept of Discovery Service Network. Several Discovery Service may connect among themselves, creating a network and signaling Peers of the existance of others DS. The Peers now persists a list of Discovery Services and may connect to others DS if its Primary DS fails. To achieve scalability, we limit the number of Peers a DS can hold. If the DS is overloaded when a Peer tries to login on it, the Peer will be notified and will try to connect to other DS that it knows. Also, a Peer can determine the maximum number of Peers it will forward requests.

CHANGED

Issue #1436
WorkerSpec File

Implemented due to the Dynamic Worker feature. Now the Worker has a WorkerSpec file where tags or properties can be added, propertis that are not dynamic or can't be inferred by the Worker. This file has a similar function to the old SDF (Site Description File).

FIXED

Issue #1413
Bug Fixed

Broker relies on a never-arriving failure message of a preempted Worker.

FIXED

Issue #1422
Bug Fixed

Worker status change notifications should be labelled with its consumer.

FIXED

Issue #1464
Bug Fixed

OurGrid charts: Out of memory on Peer Availability queries.
