Xenon

What is it?

Xenon is a middleware abstraction library. It provides a simple programming interface to various pieces of software that can be used to access distributed compute and storage resources.

Why Xenon?

Xenon is developed by the Netherlands eScience Center as a support library for our projects. Several projects develop end-user applications that require access to distributed compute and storage resources. Xenon provides a simple API to those resources, allowing those applications to be developed more rapidly. The experience gained during end-user application development is used to improve the Xenon API and implementation.

The latest source code and issue tracker can be found on Github.

See this tutorial for examples how to use the Xenon library.
