S/W Must be Xgrid Aware

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: Saint Rowan Thursday, March 25 2004 @ 04:29 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

My understanding is that whatever program you're running it has to have code in it to make it Xgrid aware. Several research programs are but most aren't. I look forward to pooling CPU cycles when using FCP4 or DVDST2 but I don't think these and most other programs can take advantage of Xgrid yet.

VisualHub uses XGrid! - Cowicide

There are apps out there beginning to pop up. I can't wait till Apple figures out a way to just make your Mac more powerful by clustering all your Macs together WITHOUT having to have apps be Xgrid "aware". That will be be very "mac-like" and VERY revolutionary.
