- Description:
Clustor is a program for managing large computational
tasks. Clustor greatly simplifies a common computationally intensive
activity - running the same program code numerous times with different
inputs. Clustor provides increased performance by distributing jobs
over a network of computers and improved task management through a
friendly user interface.
Targeted at users who run computationally demanding tasks, Clustor
supports all phases of running such a task: task preparation, job
generation and job execution. With Clustor, users who do not have
extensive knowledge of programming parallel applications, such as
scientists, engineers, researchers, are able to utilize the power of
networked computers.
