Hi,
I am currently attempting to run a rather CPU intensive application for a research project on a computer running OSX 10.4. There is no way that even a fast MacPro could handle this amount of processing. I'm fairly new to the concept of distributed processing, but it seems to me that I have two options:
1) try to set up a cluster of computers using the Apple Server software with Xgrid.
2) set up a virtual instance of OSX 10.4 with a cloud service like the Amazon Web Service.
Does anyone have any advice as to which option might be better, or if there are any other methods I might use to achieve this task?
Your advice is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Eddie
