What Xenon can do for you
- Provides an easy-to-use interface for distributed computing developers
- Enables the use of different file transfer protocols and scheduling systems on remote machines
- No need to learn and implement many different APIs
- Successfully used in many eScience tools and projects
Many applications use remote storage and compute resources. To do so, they need to include code to interact with the scheduling systems and file transfer protocols used on those remote machines.
Unfortunately, many different scheduler systems and file transfer protocols exist, often with completely different programming interfaces. This makes it difficult for applications to switch to a different system or support multiple remote systems simultaneously.
Xenon solves this problem by providing a single programming interface to many different types of remote resources. As a result, changing from one scheduler to another, or from one file transfer protocol to another, becomes a matter of changing just a few lines of code. This is obviously much cheaper in time and money than developing, debugging, and maintaining new code that implements the same logic you had before, but for a different scheduler or a different file transfer protocol.
