JPPF Topology
JPPF Programming
JPPF API
JPPF and Networking
It is a grid toolkit (library) for Java that makes it easy
to run your applications in parallel.
JPPF is an open source Grid Computing platform

written in Java that makes it easy to run applications in
parallel, and speed up their execution by orders of
magnitude. Write once, deploy once, execute
everywhere!
JPPF features
A JPPF grid can be up and running in minutes
Simple programming model that abstracts the complexity of distributed and
parallel processing .
Highly scalable, distributed framework for the parallel execution of cpu
intensive tasks.
Seamless integration with leading J2EE application servers .
Graphical and programmatic tools for fine-grained monitoring and
administration
Fault-tolerance and self-repair capabilities ensure service and reliability .
A set of fully documented sample applications of JPPF to real-life problems
Very flexible and business-friendly open source licensing
JPPF 1.8 installation
Requirements
Any platform with Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 or later.
Apache Ant 1.6.2 or later. At least 512 MB of RAM.
The latest version of the JPPF source code. It can be found on
the JPPF download page. The name of the file should be jppf-

JPPF Topology
JPPF Topology Features
JPPF can be extended to include many servers, communicating together in
a peer-to-peer topology.
In this topology, each server is seen by its peers as a node, and sees its
peers as clients.
There are a number of major advantages to this design:
It enables a greater scalability of the JPPF grid, by allowing the "pluging-in"

of additional servers dynamcally. This way, a server can delegate a part of
its load to other servers.
No matter how many servers are present, nodes and clients communicate
with them in the exact same way
Peer server connections benefit from the same failover and recovery
features available to nodes and clients
JPPF High Level Architecture
JPPF Supported Platforms
Operating Systems
JPPF will work with any OS supporting a Java JVM 1.5.0 or later, including:
Linux and Unix platforms (32 and 64 bits)
Windows 2000, XP, 2003 (32 and 64 bits)
JVM
JPPF has been tested witth he following JVMs:
Sun JDK 1.5.0
Sun JDK 6
IBM JVM 1.5.0
JPPF Programming
Client Implementation
The client has to split up the calculations into pieces
that are executed in a single server node, and pass
them to the JPPF framework. The atomic portions
that are executed in a JPPF node are called tasks. It is
up to the client application to define a reasonable
part of the complete algorithm as a task. Small tasks
may cause a high transport overhead, while large
tasks may cause poor parallelism in execution.
JPPF Programming
A task that can be submitted to the JPPF framework for execution must be a
specialization of the JPPFTask. It must at least implement the run() method. The
run() method contains the code that is executed in a JPPF node.
The run() method must store the result of the calculation using the setResult() method.
JPPF Programming
Task Submission
Tasks are submitted to the JPPFClient instance as a List of JPPFTask
instances. The list is passed to the submit() method, and a List of JPPFTask
instances is returned, containing the results.
JPPF Programming
Task Results
The result of a submission of a task list is returned by the submit() method.
Each of the returned JPPFTask instances contains the result of this specific
task, or the Exception if the execution failed.
JPPF API
JPPF provides API that unifies the way to write a JPPF
tasks and to submit tasks and obtain tasks execution
results.
This are some JPPF package include classes that contain important

Org.jppf.client.JPPFJob

tasks being executed.

Monitoring Tool
Administration Support
Task timeout: tasks are canceled after a given amount of
time or at a specific date/time .
Task cancellation and restart .

Administration Tool
JPPF Resource Adaptor
The JPPF Resource Adapter is JCA-compliant resource
adapter module that encapsulates a JPPF client.
It provides J2EE application servers with an access to JPPF grid services.
It is intended for deployment as either a standalone module or

embedded within an enterprise application, while preserving the ease
of use of JPPF.
Resource Adaptor Features
Supports a pool of connections to a single JPPF
driver
Supports disconnection from, and reconnection
to, a JPPF driver
Compliant with the JCA 1.5 specifications
API similar to that of the standard JPPF client
(submit(tasks, dataProvider))
No transaction support
JPPF And Networking
The TCP port multiplexer
JPPF requires at least 3 TCP ports to function. In network environments
where a policy imposes the use of a firewall, these ports will generally be
blocked, preventing any traffic through unauthorized ports. This situation is
very common, and in the case of JPPF, is very difficult, even nearly
impossible, to work around. To address this situation, we have implemented
a tool called TCP port multiplexer, that enables the routing of network traffic
from multiple ports to a single port on one side, and the routing of the same
traffic from a single port to multiple ones on the other side. With this tool, it
becomes possible to work with JPPF in firewalled environments, without
having to deploy a complex hardware/software infrastructure.
JPPF And Networking
To understand how the multiplexer works and how it integrates
with a JPPF grid, let's take the example of a typical JPPF
configuration:
The JPPF client, server and node are all on separate machines
and use the default ports 11111, 11112 and 11113
The network environment includes a firewall that will only let

traffic through port 443
JPPF And Networking
JPPF and network Architecture
A directed red arrow represents an incoming connection. The small circle at one
end means that the corresponding component is listening for connections on
the specified port.
JPPF And Networking
This architecture bears a number of remarks:
Nodes and clients connect to the multiplexer as if it were a local JPPF server
The JPPF server accepts connections from the multiplexer as if they came
from local clients and nodes
The multiplexing and demultiplexing of the network traffic is completely

transparent to the JPPF components
As additional network routing steps are added, a performance decrease

should be expected, compared to a non-multiplexed JPPF grid
In this configuration, management and monitoring of the nodes and server

is not possible, and should be disabled for the nodes and servers behind a
firewall
JPPF And Networking
Multiplexer Configuration
The multiplexer plays a different role, depending on whether it is on the JPPF
server machine or not:
A multiplexer on a JPPF server host only needs to listen to connections on

a multiplexing port
A multiplexer on a JPPF client or node host binds to the JPPF ports, as if it

were a server. It needs to know which ports to bind to, and for each bound
port which remote multiplexer to route the traffic to.
