Quoting: Specifically, MRG will do this by enabling enterprises to schedule large computing tasks across local grids, remote grids, "cloud" capacity from Amazon EC2 and idle desktop workstations. So, for example, according to Bryan Che, MRG's product manager, MRG will be able to make use not just of RHEL servers on the network or in the cloud but on idle Windows workstations. With support for multiple versions of Linux, Solaris and Windows, if you can find an idle cycle on a computer, you'll find a computer that MRG can use for its work. I'm picturing wild battles over CPU cycles- "Let go, stupid server, you're stealing pr0n-viewing cycles!" "Neener neener, make me! Anyway I need every spare cycle to filter outgoing Exchange mail. It's hopelessly infected, but the PHBs blew their entire IT budget on me, so we're stuck with it for another budget cycle." "I don't care if the entire GALAXY is infected, let go! I NEED it!" "No, and just for that I'm taking even more." "Auugghhh!!" and so on... |
