Gridjs – is a free browser based computational grid, that allows to run distributed computations using MapReduce framework
Each click on “join grid” will open a new browser tab, which will be executing a code making the browser a computation slot for the grid. Anyone can open any amount of browsers and tabs to make the grid faster.
In order to submit a computation to the grid click “submit job”. This page will allow the following: upload comma separated data file, then add a javascript map and reduce functions (aka computation), and finally submit a computation to the grid.
If a job submission was successful, it’s progress will be displayed on “jobs status” page, allowing to stop/(re)start/view the job status and results.
nodejs, express, jade, socket.io, config, knox, mongoose, mongod, s3, linode

felixgeNeat idea. Joining the grid worked for me, but I wasn’t able to submit a job. Clicking on the link for it just redirect my browser to ‘/#’, so I’m assuming the entry was not completed – I tried in FF 3.6 and Chrome. | |||
I had some trouble submitting a job, but I agree with luisivan. | |||
Thanks!! ;))
I had this idea a couple months ago. I think is the future! | |||
Thanks!! ;)) It’s work in progress…
SteveStrezaCool idea, but I had difficulty getting it to run properly in Safari or Chrome. I was able to connect, but didn’t understand what sending jobs and processing jobs actually did. When I looked at the code, it just seems like it’s running a fake job with no input data from the server. I understand the idea but am not sure it gives insight to what’s going on under the hood | |||
Thanks! ;) Out of the initial team of four, we ended up with only four people. Moreover, we were able to code for only one day, so the system is incomplete. As you mentioned the system is even lack of basic functionality of submitting jobs, but we will continue our work on it after the NKO.
none of the links do anything, it appears to be broken. | |||
therazorbladeI got as far as #1 but then nothing happened when I tried #2 (Chrome and FF). Happy to try again if you get it fixed. | |||
joehitchensDidn’t seem to work. Couldn’t submit a job. | |||
I can join, but job submission doesn’t seem to work. Nice idea though :)
