Platform requirements
Operating systems: Any system that supports Java™. Tested platforms include Linux and Windows® (NT, 2000, etc.). The distibuted Eden and the grid version of Quake II require Linux.
Hardware:
- One or more computers (750-MHz processor). Recommended: Cluster of more than one 1-GHz processor.
- 10-Mbit Ethernet to each processor. Recommended: 100-Mbit Ethernet.
- Storage requirements are application-dependent.
Software:
- Java Run-time Environment 1.3 or above
- Ant 1.6.2
- Perl 5.8.3 (for running the distributed Eden and Quake II demos)
- TSpaces (included)
Installation instructions
- Download the file optimalgrid.zip.
- Unzip the optimalgrid.zip file onto your system into a directory of your choice. The OptimalGrid project files will be expanded into an optimalgrid directory and other subdirectories.
- After extracting the OptimalGrid files under a directory of your choice, there will be a new optimalgrid/ directory. For example, if you unziped into c:\test\ on your Windows system, then you would have the following: c:\test\optimalgrid.
- Full instructions for configuring and running the inlcuded OptimalGrid demos can be found in the file c:\test\optimalgrid\optimalgrid.html.
