What is XWCH?
The XtremWeb-CH (http://www.xtremwebch.net) project aims at building an effective Peer-To-Peer system for CPU time consuming applications.
Initially, XWCH was an upgraded version of the Volunteer Computing environment [XtremWeb: http://www.xtremweb.net]. Major improvements have been brought in order to obtain a reliable and efficient system. The software’s architecture was completely re-designed. The communication routines based initially on Remote Procedure Calls (Java RMI) were replaced by socket communications and SOAP calls. New modules were added in order to enrich the system by new functionalities.
A typical XtremWeb-CH platform is composed of one coordinator and several workers (remote resources). The coordinator is a 3rd-tier layer allowing connections between the users and the workers. A warehouse is used by the workers to communicate with each other.
