Building computational grids with apple's Xgrid middleware
Baden Hughes · Minerva Access (University of Melbourne) · 2006
Apple's release of the Xgrid framework for distributed computing introduces a new technology solution for loosely coupled distributed computation. In this paper we systematically describe, compare and evaluate the Apple native Xgrid solution and a range of third part components which can be substituted for native versions. This description and evaluation is grounded in practical experience in deploying a small scale internationally distributed heterogeneous computational infrastructure based on the Xgrid framework.
