Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] Ruby my xgrid?

[Jon B. <jo...@gm...>]

I have setup an Xgrid network @ home w/ a G5 and a few laptops  
(mainly for VisualHub encoding and nothing more), it is amazing  
technology.

A cool thing I did come across was this package:

http://www.tslab.se.shibaura-it.ac.jp/index.php/Software/rxgrid#y0780222

Other than that, Id have to say I have not be in a situation where I  
would really need so much Xgrid power, either that or the apps did  
not support it.  I can see though somewhere in your code where it  
would say if Xgrid was available submit or job or else do it on your  
own, Im sure there is a standard way to accomplish something like  
that.  From everything I have read it is simple TCP back and forth  
between controller / agents.
