ACE Distributed Computing Systems

ACE Technologies enable both centralized and/or decentralized distributed computing systems depending on client needs. For both system versions, computing solvers are hosted in a container called solver server and both systems are implemented based on industry standards. They can be easily integrated with your other enterprise systems. ACE provides software agents to communicate with all the services on the distributed system.

The core of a centralized computing system is the ACE scheduler Server. All computational jobs are sent via the scheduler server and further relayed to the solvers. Scheduler dynamically and automatically manages all the connected solver services.

The core of a decentralized computing system is the ACE Registry Server. The ACE registry server contains information about the solver software, but not connected to the solver itself. A client agent first contacts the registry for information about the solvers. Upon response from the registry, the agent takes a second step to contact the solver service in a peer-to-peer mode.

Enabling technologies on the ACE distributed computing system can be decomposed into three tiers: back tier, niddle tier and front tier. ACE excels in backend computation, computational middleware and systems, and front-end modeling and graphical user interfaces.
