LoadLeveler plug-in

Anar here...

I've just released a new PoD beta. In this version we have a new job manager plug-in implemented.
Now PoD supports IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler LoadLeveler!

A special thanks to Simon Heisterkamp (Copenhagen, Denmark), who helped a lot in development of the plug-in.

New PoD WN

Anar here...

I've just released a new beta build of PoD. This version got three major improvements:

1. PoD WN has now been officially ported to Mac OS X. That means PoD now fully supports Linux and Mac. You can run PoD Server, PoD UI or PoD WN on Mac OS X (and/or Linux). While testing this feature today, I set up a dynamic PROOF cluster of 46 WNs using the SSH plug-in, containing different Linux versions (Debian Etch, Debian Lenny) and two Mac OS X workers. :D Thanks to PROOF and PoD you now are able to combine different OSs and architectures in your dynamic PROOF clusters.
2. Each PoD WN starts its own xproofd daemon now. This feature makes it easer to handle PoD workers individually. The feature is also important for PoD and AliEn integration.
3. The start up time of PoD WNs is significantly improved in this version of PoD.

A short news about PoD website update.

PoD's home website got a "Video Tutorials" page. There will be all screencasts about PoD collected.

PoD Screencasts. Part 2.

Part 1.

I have just recorded another screencast. This time it is about how to setup a dynamic PROOF cluster on a resource management system. I used CERN's LSF farm as a playground and PoD 3.4.

Enjoy:

PoD Screencasts

I think you would agree, that watching a live demo is much better than just reading a presentation slides or something ;)
This is why I decided to start recording screencasts about PoD. In the future screencasts you will see how to install PoD, how to use different plug-ins of PoD and so on and so on.

I've just started from a simplest screencast - on how to install PoD (see below).
This is the very first public screencast in my life, so, please, be gentle ;)
