  1. XGrid? by Rauser · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It seems to me that some of these apps could really take advantage of XGrid, especially since it appears that they are only going to work with OS X 10.4. Can anyone confirm whether XGrid capability is present in any of these apps?

    The white zone is for loading and unloading only. If you need to load or unload go to the white zone. It's a way of life

      It wouldn't suprise me, although I don't have any info on it.

      Apple's Logic Pro audio suite released a few months ago has the ability to offload audio rendering tasks to other g5's on the same network. A very cool technology that makes a lot of sense to use in pro video enviroments where it is likely that there a dozens of other workstations on the network.

      Info on distributed audio processing here.
