The .CRUNCH (pronounced "dotCRUNCH") system is a Java based, application-neutral, grid computing infrastructure which utilizes computational and data rewources on a network for processing and is implemented using Web Services in a Service Oriented Arghitecture (SOA). The system allows units of work (workflows and their jobs) to be submitted by member users, collectively known as subscribers, for processing by one or more of the multiple processing nodes at its disposal.
The .CRUNCH system is architected as a medium sized Grid Processing Network incorporating a highly modular design. Through planned design enhancements, joining additional instances of .CRUNCH will result in a vast and virtually endless Grid-of-Grids. (Back to Software Products)

Description:
.CRUNCH Grid Network System leverages the power of distributed processing over a web services based SOA to accomplish extremely large and resource intensive processes in a more efficient and timely manner. To date .CRUNCH has been leveraged in a variety Department of Defense projects including the accelerated detection of Steganographic material and within the areas of forensic analysis of Voice Recognition and Audio Processing.
The .CRUNCH system integrates core Java and C code with open-source tools including MySQL for database management, JBOSS web services application server, and a Linux-based operating system. Processing nodes include support for both Linux and Windows XP based systems. These network subscribed processing nodes can include anything from Supercomputers, PC’s, Workstations to Application Specific Hardware.
.CRUNCH is distributed with a flexible Software Development Kit (SDK) which enables individual users to develop fully customized toolsets and applications to support their own specific needs. It includes a variety of beneficial features including Client Configuration Control, Task scheduling, Resource management, File and Data Atomization and Fusion, Metadata Management, and Spider Search capabilities.
