Re: x grid question



Hi Mike,

Xgrid works well within its intended applications, such as Blast, but other implementations rely on a bit of custom programming, which is outside of my sphere of knowledge. I've been trying to get xgrid to work with Maya and have not had any success. So, lots of promise for this app, and the intended direction is right on the money, but in all fairness it is still a technology preview and many of us mainstream users may need to wait until OS X Tiger is released before we see the more practical side of it.

Personally, I'd love to see ALL compute-intensive applications that I use on a day in and day out basis to benefit from distributed processing rather than just the select few.

Rob

hello list,
My name's mike, I'm a new user here. I just read in mac addict about
xgrid and it caught my attention pretty fast... so of course I
downloaded and set up. I do however have one question,... is this
software only good for splitting the load of pre-designated tasks? or
can it be used to delegate workloads from other programs? like say I
was editing hours of video in Final Cut Pro, or another power hungry
program,,,, does this program have any applications for this? I
appologize in advance if this is a silly question, but like I said, I'm
fairly inexperienced with the material. thanks for any help you can
give. -Mike
