Java Parallel Processing Framework 1.0 Beta 1

Java Parallel Processing Framework is a set of tools and APIs to facilitate the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their execution over a network of heterogenous nodes.
Java Parallel Processing Framework is intended to run in clusters and grids.
Main features:
- an API to delegate the processing of parallelized tasks to local and remote execution services
- a set of APIs and user interface tools to administrate and monitor execution services
- real-time adaptive load balancing capabilities
- scalability up to an arbitrary number of processing nodes
- support for failover and recovery
- limited intrusiveness for existing or legacy code
- a dynamic deployment mechanism, that enables the execution of new, or updated, code without having to deploy onto the grid
- fully documented APIs, administration guide and developer guide
- runs on any platform supporting Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 (J2SE 1.5)
Enhancements:
- JPPF is now licensed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. Starting from JPPF 1.0 beta1, all releases will be licensed under these terms.
- Prior versions will remain under the terms of the LGPL.
- For the first time, JPPF integrates seamlessly with J2EE. The JPPF Resource Adapter provides J2EE application servers with an access to native grid services.
- Numerous bug fixes, especially with regards to the distributed class loading mechanism.
