Diet (distributed interactive engineering toolbox) is a middleware designed for hpc (high performance computing) in heterogeneous and distributed environments (workstations, clusters, grids, clouds). diet provides a standard-compliant implementation of ogf (open grid forum) grid rpc api. it works in a hierarchical fashion, clients requests computational resources to a hierarchy of agents which will choose the most adequate computational service (known as sed or server daemon).

diet is the core component of sysfera-ds hpc middleware (http://www.sysfera.com/sysfera-ds,10).

this package contains runtime necessary to run diet applications using admin api.
