New Features
The following features have been added since the last major release of TIBCODataSynapse™High-Performance Computing Cloud Adapter (HPCCA).
Version 2.0.0
Support for multiple cloud providers
DataSynapse HPCCA now support engines for multiple cloud providers mentioned in the
cloudprovider.properties file. For more information, see TIBCO DataSynapse™High-Performance Computing Cloud Adapter User Guide.
Aggressive scale down of engines
If no task is running on the DataSynapse GridServer® Engine, DataSynapse HPCCAreduces the number of engines irrespective of the ENGINEIDLETIMEOUT value. To enablethis feature, set the
AGGRESSIVE_SCALEDOWN property in the cloudprovider.propertiesfile to true. For more information, see TIBCO DataSynapse™High-Performance ComputingCloud Adapter User Guide.
Monitoring engines on specific brokers
DataSynapse HPCCA now monitors engines on particular brokers. A list of brokers isprovided in the BROKER_HOSTNAME property in the
cloudprovider.properties file.For more information, see TIBCO DataSynapse™High-Performance Computing CloudAdapter User Guide.
Version 1.5.0
No new features have been added in this release.
Version 1.4.0
Support for Google Cloud Platform
Starting from this release, DataSynapse™High-Performance Computing Cloud Adapter(HPCCA) can be configured for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by using the
cloudprovider.properties file. For more information, see TIBCO DataSynapse™High-Performance Computing Cloud Adapter User Guide.
Consideration for DataSynapse HPCCA engines for calculating computational need
Starting from this release, engines that are not created by DataSynapse HPCCA can beincluded when calculating computational needs. To enable this feature, set the
CONSIDER_NON_HPCCA_ENGINES property in the cloudprovider.properties file to true.For more information, see TIBCO DataSynapse™High-Performance Computing CloudAdapter User Guide.
Version 1.3.0
Support for scale sets
Scale sets that allow you to create and manage a group of identical, load balanced VMson Azure are now supported for Windows and Linux 64-bit platforms.
Version 1.2.0
Support for custom images
Custom images for both Windows and Linux 64-bit platforms are now supported on AWSand Azure.
Support for auto scaling group
Autoscaling groups for Windows and Linux 64-bit platforms are now supported on AWS.
Grid Library Deployer
A new feature to assist in deployment is a TIBCO-supported tool for deploying gridlibraries from the command line. The included
GridLibraryDeployer.zip is a simpleJava-based grid library deployment utility based on the GridLibDeployer.java classincluded in the TIBCO DataSynapse GridServer® SDK. Enter java -jar GridLibraryDeployer.jar at the command line. A list of options is displayed.
Support for SSL-Enabled DataSynapse GridServer® Manager
DataSynapse HPCCA can now be installed on SSL-enabled managers. Earlier versions didnot support SSL-enabled managers.
Version 1.1.0
Windows engines and initial reconfiguration changes
The initial release of the DataSynapse HPCCA only included Linux-based engines. It nowsupports Windows engines. Also, the DataSynapse HPCCA now reconfigures an existing DataSynapse GridServer®Engine installation to enable it to connect to the current grid environment. This is donerather than the previous method of a fresh install, to enable you to configure the virtualmachine to properly connect into your infrastructure and to enable for thepreinstallation of things like grid libraries and caching solutions.
Version 1.0.0
TIBCO DataSynapse™High-Performance Computing Cloud Adapter
DataSynapse HPCCA extends the functionality of DataSynapse GridServer® by enabling itto dynamically create virtual machines and provision them with the Engine Daemon. Itwas created to allow customers to temporarily increase their compute capacity duringperiods of unusually high load on their DataSynapse GridServer® deployment. The initialrelease, version 1.0.0, includes Linux 64-bit engines and a very simple cloudmanagement algorithm.
