Version 1.4 debuts a new graphically-based, dynamic job queue and scheduling system taking advantage of Pooch's built-in heuristic functions and cluster diagnostics. It also sports an updated graphical user interface taking advantage of features introduced in Panther, Apple's latest Mac OS X. Pooch supports industry-standard MPI, combines Rendezvous, multiprocessing, and grid computing, and installs on a node in seconds.
