Open Source Network Servers in Java

JCGrid is an easy-to-use tools for real-world grid-computing. It requires only to install Java Runtime. It doesn't require any OS specific setup (works on any platform thanks to Java). It doesn't require too any file system sharing capability (i.e. NFS, etc). You can easy split your cpu-intensive task among several Workstations/PCs/Macs/etc by using the JCGrid framework. Any file required for completing the task will be transferred by the framework. A cache is used in order to minimize file transfers. You can easy add or remove Workstations/PCs/Macs from the grid at runtime without the loose of any work. It includes the support for POVRay as an example of use. A demonstration of a public grid with anonymous users for rendering Mandelbrot set is included too.
