Re: x grid question (MikeWalt)



Dan - when you say "xgrid-aware", is the level of complexity of change 
similar to the level of complexity of change between a program built for 
32 bit vs 64 bit? Or can something like FCP just add extensions to the 
existing software? Where would we find a list of those programs that are 
Xgrid-aware?
Thanks!
- Bob

Hi,

The basic answer is no, xgrid can't do anything with the workload of 
software packages like Final Cut Pro. The software needs to be 
xgrid-aware, 
so to speak - it would need to have been programmed with the ability to 
submit 'jobs' to an xgrid controller. Obviously since xgrid is so recent, 
FCP doesn't have that built into it, but maybe they'll add that in to 
future editions....
