Hi,
I am a final year computer  science student and I would like to work with jppf project so I need sample project to be familiar with functionality or to make some developing on it.
please help me

[lolo]

Hello Salem,

There are many things you can start with:

• A section of the documentation is dedicated to programming with the JPPF APIs: http://www.jppf.org/wiki/index.php/Programming
• you can also start from the simple demos that come with the JPPF source download, documented there: http://www.jppf.org/wiki/index.php/Samples_and_tools
• finally, you can also download and explore the samples-pack, which contains more sophisticated applications of JPPF

All the demos and samples come with a fully documented  source.
I invite you to take a look at them, and come back to these forums, should you face specific problems when you start using them for your project.

I hope this helps,
-Laurent

Hi Laurent,
Thank you so much for your quick reply and I hope this will help me as a begining but if you can give me steps to setup JPPF because I am new in parallel programming field.
What did you mean by samples-pack ?

thank you again

Hello Salem,

You will find precise installation instructions in the documentation in the Installing page.
If you simply follow these instructions, you will have a JPPF grid running in no time. If you install everything locally, on the same machine, no further configuration should be needed.
I have added a section about the JPPF Samples Pack

The samples pack comes as a separate download. For instance, the latest version is named jppf-samples-pack-1.0-RC1.0457-20071115.zip, and you will find it at the JPPF download page

I hope this helps,

Hello Laurent,
I have some troubles in this two steps and what does it means:

To run the driver: go to the jppf-x.y.z-driver folder and type ant run.driver.

To run the node: go to the jppf-x.y.z-node folder and type ant run.node.

My Question is how and where can I type ant run.driver or ant run.node to make it run.

thank you.

Salem

Hello Salem,

I apologize for the late answer.
What the doc means is as follows (I'll take the example of the JPPF driver):

1) Download the latest version of jppf-driver-bin-x.y.z-nnnn-yyyymmdd.zip from the download page. It contains the latest binary distribution for the JPPF driver.
Unzip this file in a location of your choice on your file system. It will unzip in a folder named "jppf-x.y.z-driver"

2) To run the driver, there's 2 prerequisites: you need Java 1.5 or later installed, and Apache Ant 1.6.5 or later installed. You will also have to define the JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment variables, and update your PATH to point to $JAVA_HOME/bin (%JAVA_HOME%\bin on Windows) and $ANT_HOME/bin (%ANT_HOME%\bin on Windows).

3) Open a shell console/terminal/dos prompt and type the command "ant run.driver" to actually run it.

I hope this helps,
-Laurent

Hello Laurent,
Thank you very much because your last reply helps me and now I need to ask about IP configuration for driver and nodes to guarantee successful communication
I am sorry about my many questions because I am new in this field

Thanx again
Salem
