Red Hat Introduces MRG 1.2 Platform Release

    Red Hat introduced a new release of the MRG 1.2 platform (Messaging, Real Time and Grid) to create solutions for tasks with guaranteed runtime, organize messaging between business applications and create a distributed computing environment.

    The new version adds support for deploying Grid environments based on the KVM virtualization system integrated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4. Another set of changes is related to optimizing the performance of messaging code and realtime extensions. For example, testing showed the ability to process on one system more than 1.5 million messages per second, with guaranteed responsiveness for 40 microseconds. In addition, the package includes a new utility rteval, which helps to track hardware problems leading to a decrease in responsiveness (latency).

    MRG infrastructure consists of the basic components:
    • “MRG Messaging” - for organizing fast and reliable messaging between business applications or web-services. The solution is based on the open AMQP protocol;
    • “MRG Realtime” - execution of tasks critical to delays due to the use of a special Linux kernel with Realtime extensions suitable for installation in distributions of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 series;
    • “MRG Grid” - creating a grid environment for distributed solutions to diverse problems. Development is based on the open project Condor. It supports the creation of a network based on local and remote machines, virtual and cloud environments, based on the use of processor downtime on ordinary workstations;
    • Means for centralized and unified configuration management of a set of machines;
    • High Performance Computing (HPC) - organization of high-performance computing, with full support for the development of parallel algorithms in Java, JMS, .NET, C ++, Ruby and Python.
