Xgrid simplifies the task of distributing CPU-intensive computations across your existing hardware, from racks of Xserve G5s to rooms of PowerMacs and iMacs--even Mac minis! This session will start by describing Xgrid's architecture, which not only allows ad-hoc grids via Bonjour and Dynamic DNS, but can leverage the administrative and security capabilities in Mac OS X Server for actively managed grids. It will also cover the basics of how to run jobs and manage clusters using the command-line, as well as tie-ins to Xsan, OpenDirectory, and ActiveDirectory. Plus, we will show you how to quickly build rich front-ends to your computations using Xgrid's Cocoa API.
