The advent and adoption of the Internet in the 90s changed the way the ICT industry functions, permanently.
Lowering costs
in computation and communication is driving
the focus from personal to DataCentercentric
computing. Although, parallel and
distributed computing has been around for
several years, in its new forms as, Multicore,
Grid and Cloud Computing, has
brought about a sweeping change in the
industry. These trends are pushing industry
focus from developing applications for PCs to
Data Centers and Clouds that enable millions
of users make use of software simultaneously. ICT services are billed to be
delivered as “computing utilities” over
shared delivery networks akin to the water,
electricity, gas and telephony services.
With this sweeping change, there is a demand for new skill sets in parallel and distributed computing. Universities play an important role in this regard in training the next generation of ICT professionals and equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge to tackle the challenges. In addition to the research being done in this field, there are several courses on offer on Parallel, Grid and Distributed computing. Complementing these are network based parallel and distributed computing technologies such as Manjrasoft’s Aneka, which offer low cost solution for teaching and learning in this field.
“Help Introduce Latest Computer Technology to your Students!” |

Manjrasoft, which was born out of The
University of Melbourne’s Cloud Computing
and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS)
Laboratory, has been doing significant work
in this area and has implemented relevant
courses to prepare the students for the real
world. Manjrasoft’s flagship product Aneka,
enables one to build virtual supercomputer
or an enterprise Cloud out of LAN-connected
desktop computers under Windows /.NET
environment and provide remote access to
this capability as Cloud services. After
successful validation of the technology in the
market, Aneka is being offered to
educational institutions to help students gain
knowledge on the practical implementation
of the technology.
Manjrasoft offers a seminar and training program aimed at introducing and covering topics ranging from fundamental concepts to using state of the art Aneka technology and how to adopt them to teaching parallel and distributed computing. Manjrasoft would like to work with educational institutions to develop courseware in emerging areas of parallel and distributed computing (multicore programming, Cloud and Big-Data computing) and enable them to train next-generation ICT professionals.
In educational environment, Manjrasoft’s Aneka technology is used to:
- Setup a Lab by building an enterprise Grid or “on premise” Cloud using existing LAN-connected desktop computers
- Teach concepts of parallel and distributed programming using models such as Task, Thread, and MapReduce
- Conduct Lab classes and mount student projects in parallel and distributed computing
- Teach concurrent programming using the Thread model on multi-core desktop computers or servers
- Teach and demonstrate Cloud computing concepts by deploying on public Clouds such as Amazon EC2 by renting the computing infrastructure
