Re: Should controller avoid being an agent?



In my home setup where I am in short supply of computers I use the controller as an agent. It added a solid 600Mhz to the umpf :)

I tested both IP and Rendezvous.  I did not see any difference in speed.

Hi,

Just about to get started with a little IP-address-based (as opposed to Rendezvous-based) Xgrid cluster. I'm going to use a G4 in my office as the controller. Is there any reason I should avoid activating the xgrid "agent" process on that same computer?

I presume that the controller's duties are unlikely to make too much demand on the processor, so it would seem sensible to allow the controller to spend some of its spare time as an agent....

Thanks
Dan
