MacResearch Introduces OpenMacGrid

Posted by kdawson on

Drew McCormack writes "MacResearch.org has just introduced OpenMacGrid. It is a distributed computing grid similar to SETI@home, but unlike other networks, it is built up entirely of Macs utilizing Xgrid, and access is unrestricted. Anyone with Mac OS X 10.4 can donate cycles, and any scientist with a reasonable project can burn cycles."

    I don't think scientists who require computational power work on macs. Why would they require macs when there are beowulf clusters around?
