Quake II as an MMOG [Sep 17, 2005, 01:01 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
alphaWorks OptimalGrid Overview has middleware code to operate Quake II as
an MMOG, the latest fruits of efforts at IBM to facilitate games, in
this case Quake II, on a grid of servers (story). Here's what
they sent along about this:
OptimalGrid is a self-contained middleware designed for developers to create grid-enabled parallel applications without themselves becoming experts in grid or high-performance computing (article). The Linux compatible middleware now includes automatic distribution and provisioning on to Grid nodes. See how the first release of Quake II was made massively multi-player by running on a Grid. Get modified Quake II from Sourceforge to run with OptimalGrid and let the massive Grid games begin.
For instance, people say "an STD", not "a STD". Or I do, anyways. I mean, my friend does.
