Apple Posted Xgrid--Make Your Own Mac Cluster

A free technology preview version of Xgrid was released by Apple on Tuesday. According to Apple,

Xgrid turns a group of Macs into a supercomputer, so they can work on problems greater than each individually could solve. You can let Xgrid operate in screensaver mode, so whenever you aren’t working, your Mac can crunch away at some data set. Or if you have a group of Macs dedicated to the task, Xgrid makes it easy to set up a cluster that works around the clock, every day of the year.

If you have a home network and crunch a lot of data, Xgrid may be for you. Xgrid is being developed by Apple's Advanced Computation Group. This preview release of Xgrid is fun and easy to try out with its demoes. We just wish it worked on processing Halo's graphics....
