Pooch is software providing the easiest way to assemble and operate a parallel computer.
We encourage you to see for yourself. Pooch even operates correctly on mixed clusters of OS 9 and OS X Macs.
The download also contains the AltiVec Fractal Carbon app, a parallel application that rapidly computes Mandelbrot-style fractals which also demonstrates high-performance computing and parallel computing. And the Fresnel Diffraction Explorer which simulates Fresnel diffraction, a phenomenon of light, using an advanced set of algorithms.
Limitations:
To utilize clusters securely or to utilize greater than four nodes, you need to register.
What's New:
Universal Binary for running on mixed clusters of Intel- and PowerPC-Macs
manages both types of nodes, making all cluster data available
launches Universal binaries, enabling cross-processor clustering; Pooch is the first and only clustering solution to launch Universal Binaries in parallel
Remote job, file, and folder retrieval support, even through proxy nodes
New Job file format support, including saving and loading job data
save commonly used jobs, file and node combinations, to disk
supports standard file dialog and reminder sheets
Head node setting to access and control clusters with Linux-style topologies
accesses nodes behind a head node acting as a firewall and NAT router
coordinates Pooch features to launch jobs via the head node
Enhancements to the AppleEvent interface for job and user data
Automatic detection and retry of preferred IP address of remote nodes
Pooch Pro automatic user login using Keychain services
Other features, enhancements, bug fixes, and updates
Two new dashboard widgets for scanning nodes and scanning jobs on the cluster
Other feature enhancements, bug fixes, and adaptations to changes in OS X.
