xgrid
xgrid is cool. for my job i need to process terabytes of data. i have a quad xeon mac. i need a way to spool all these tasks off to the different processors. i don't want the poor machine to get overloaded. ie i don't really want to run more than say 4 at a time. but i don't really want to write an executor myself. that'd be a pain. fortunately os x has xgrid built in. i wrote some scripts to spool the jobs to xgrid. and xgrid parcels them out when the machine's not so busy. and tells my script when everything is done. nift. the really nifty part is i can set up my other macs as part of the grid. muhahahahahah! i'm super computing now.
