apps for distributed processing

[plastick]

What are some good and hopefully free distributed computing applications that I can use to share cpu cycles between 2 of my computers.

Basically I wanna combine the power of my two amd rigs to see what all I can do.

if that is possible... i dont know anything about DC.

You could make a small beowolf cluster.

What is that and how does it work?

Arent there any applications that I can install on my computers to get them to work together??
I know that I have used 3d software that allowed me to render over network- using other systems cpu power.

Edit: I dont know if thats the same thing...

I don't think it'd be any faster than just installing the same client on both.

Still, I dont understand. How does this work? What do I need?

Click on the Folding@Home link in my sig. Go to the downloads section, download the GUI client v5.03(near the top) for whatever OS you have. Install it, then run it. As long as it's running, you are crunching. Install it on both machines, using same username, and you get all the points! Teamid is 198

what software did you use that can do that?

While F@H is a good cause (I run it), it won't do what you want, which I understand to be to seamlessly distribute multithreaded tasks automatically across multiple systems in a "cluster." With Windows, that is impossible, but you could use the Linux-based OpenMOSIX to effect that type of setup. Of course, it won't split up a single threaded task; if the program is designed to take advantage of multiple CPUs, then in general it can take advantage of an OpenMOSIX cluster also. BTW, as far as programs that run on Windows and have their own facilities for distributed processing, Nuendo deserves mention.

Edit: my fingers are cold, my typing is horrible, my spelling sucks. That's all.

Pop tarts man.. just pop tarts... Oh well.. I was hoping I could have some fun with it... Anyway i suppose that my Athlon 64 3000+ is fast enough for me Im not touching linux with a 39.5" pole.

Ah, and no worries... spelling is only relative..
