No, it'd definently be a lot simpler than having to go into Xgrid Preferences and set up that for novices who just want to do what you say. And the overhead for administration would be much less I think, just make sure the password is available t…

There is still lots of potential with Xgrid. Apple has made it extendible at least enough so that they think that MPI (or others) capabilities could be added. But you do have Pooch for that. I'd really like to the see the Mandelbrot code. I c…

The Xgrid mailing list is now running. I was able to get Xgrid installed on the other compatible system, though I missed something with the password so it was show as offline until I could get back to it. As I remember, there was no one logged i…

You can't even run a controller without being logged in. Which is useless when you have user switching and security concerns. I did read the docs. I just need information, and I'm just venting at the lack of it. I'm getting into the Sample Plug-…

Does anyone have more info? Like: How do you write the plug-ins? What is coming? (By the amazingly poor administration features there's lots of stuff missing) You can't do anything. I assume Final or last beta will be available for WWDC so…

From the look of the System Preferences Panel, you have 2 options currently:[list=1][*]Only when the computer is idle[*]Always[/list=1] Then you can choose to "Suspend tasks when computer is not idle" The way it is described and at least how it s…

Xgrid + Xserve = LOTS of Xserve sales to come. Once Xgrid goes final anyway. I can see Apple machines filling in the rest of the Top 10 fastest (minus EarthSim and Los Alamos) with something like this. You say you have the dev kit. Do you, o…

What I dislike about FCE is that is essentially stripped down FCP3. So it's Carbon and doesn't take advantage of a lot of things and has some inconsistencies in the GUI that make the Carbon nature apparent. OK, more Carbon than FCP4. It would b…

I haven't had much experience with Sound Studio, and I don't yet have my I/O box to actually get some use out of it. I've only used it with the built-in mic on my PB, and to cut up a few previously recorded continuous tracks. I plan on getting an …

I personally a would like to see lots of Bluetooth devices. I imagine an iPod with built-in Bluetooth for my headset. A BT cellphone sits in my backpack or briefcase and I voice dial or pull out my iPod and select someone to call. The music goes …

Someone in one of the G5 XServe threads said they didn't think PCI-X was coming with them. Amorph, you mentioned all those awesome out-of-box interconnects, but Virginia Tech used InfiniBand. Well, where'd the drivers come from, for one, and Inf…

What if you want 26? The lab at school has machines at 10.1 and .2 and the tech department doesn't support them whatsoever. (High School) So cheaper is definently better to get it on these machines. Samba 3 is large benefit for a windows netwo…

In the previous topics on XGrid when the mailing list initially came out, someone mentioned Dr. Crandall and the Apple Advanced Computation Group. Crandall came from NeXT where he worked on Zilla.app. A screensaver like process sharing app, is per…

The company that produces Yellow Dog Linux sells, or at least did sell, boxes like this. They look like an external FireWire HD. They stack and have a couple ports on the back, so you couldn probably use them as computers, not sure though. I al…

Well, it has been mention that 4 zones and 9 fans keeps it quiet and in a server that isn't completely neccesary. Also, I took note of the Cluster XServes. Their entire front panel save the drive bays is a cheese grater. It should be possible to …

And if Apple had that much money...wouldn't Microsoft already be dead?

IT may not care but they'll have to. If you can save the company a few hours of processing time every day that's a a lot of time over a year, and a lot of money. Plus, you won't need to update your systems so often. No need for expensive compli…

Posted a reply in Future Hardware about this already. See here. Admins lock that one or maybe combine here, since that one is in the wrong place. I'll repost the links to the old discussions on XGrid though. XGrid....wolf anyone? Project…

Previous discussion with "XGrid" in them, as well as all of my comments on the subject are in these 2 threads. XGrid....wold anyone? Project Wolf/XGrid Good reads I believe.

Man, knew I shoulda copyrighted that name. Even put together an interface and a little Cocoa code (learn by experimentation when you can't buy books), XGrid name and all. I've had two or three topics in these forums about this. Been wanting thi…
