Fitech Laboratories, Inc. is committed to supporting academic research and development in areas of high performance computing, distributed transaction processing and grid computing.

The University Relationship Program offered by Fitech Laboratories, Inc. is now accepting proposals for free academic licenses for research projects conducted by research centers and universities worldwide.

Research proposals have to meet the following requirements:

• The project should present a significant and provable research interest in distributed computing.
• The research should be made published noting the use of xTier.

Fitech Laboratories, Inc. will supply qualified projects with number of free academic licenses of xTier™/GRID - software solution for high-performance enterprise grid computing.

Depending on the project, Fitech Laboratories, Inc. is also ready to consider an additional assistance in training, support and consulting in using xTier™/GRID.

Fitech Laboratories, Inc. will help qualified projects in getting additional financial assistance from other participating non-profit funds.

xTier/GRID for Java

The xTier™/GRID provides a simple yet robust implementation for Enterprise Computational Grid (ECG) applications. ECGs operate intra-company (within an existing company's security infrastructure) as opposed to Global Grids which are inter-company architectures.

The xTier™/GRID defines the software infrastructure for developing Near Real Time (nRT) ECG applications and is best suited to solving computationally intensive tasks by splitting such tasks into multiple sub-tasks, executing each sub-task on a dedicated grid node in parallel and then aggregating the results to achieve a final result in approximately O(T/N) time assuming an optimal split.

Main features of xTier™/GRID service include:

• Designed to solve enterprise computationally intensive problems.
• Near Real-Time (nRT) support additionally to traditional long-running jobs.
• Direct support for task splitting, topology management, result aggregation and failover.
• Java and .NET interoperability using the xTier™/GRID .NET client.
