Xgrid
Is anyone using or even know if it is still possible to leverage Apple Xgrid technology with AE? I remember playing around with Gridiron Xfactor back in AE 6.5, but I believe that product has been discontinued.
Since OSX server now has some powerful Xgrid options, and I have a few 8 cores laying around, I thought I’d try to get some extra power through Xgrid. Just not sure where to find a plugin that allows CS3 or CS4 to use it for computations.
Any ideas?

xgrid always looked like a geeks wet dream but of no use to us mortals, remember “the rest of us?”
Curiosity piqued, I ran search inquiries and came up with nothing more current than about 2005 but some useless information came up from an earlier era:
https://www.macresearch.org/the_xgrid_tutorials
#! /usr/bin/perl
# profiler values are in the form: ‘ __key__: _____value____’ (one per line)
my $memory = `/usr/sbin/system_profiler system_profiler SPHardwareDataType SPSoftwareDataType grep Memory`;
my $regex = ‘^s*Memory: (d*) (.*)$’;
my ( $value, $unit ) = ( $memory =~ /$regex/m );# print RAM value in megabytes
if ( $unit eq ‘MB’) { print $value }
if ( $unit eq ‘GB’) { print $value * 1024 }Hope someone has something encouraging to offer over the next few days.

Might have better luck using Qmaster instead. Probably easier to set up!
