Simple Powerful Grid

MyGrid is an Open Source grid and grid middleware. MyGrid is designed with the modern concepts in mind, simple naming and transparent class hierarchy. MyGrid can distribute jobs to other grids, including comercial, such as DataSynapse, or Globus via gateway plugins. MyGrid wants to become to grid computing what MySQL became for proprietary SQL databases: a viable open source alternative.

MyGrid Model

MyGrid offers a web management interface with job dependencies visualizer, web services interface, solving complex job dependencies, job discriminators, load balancing, fault tolerance, failover, recovery, industry standard logging.

Currently, MyGrid offers Java and .NET implementations (including Microsoft's .NET and Mono on Linux). But we're also interested in Ruby developers to implement MyGrid in Ruby.
