I want to be able to cluseter my 3pcs and mac g4 together to run prime 95 or setiathome.... is this possible and how, i looked at condor but i was unsure how to implement my own cluster individualized form the worldwide one

[Scotttheking]

What's the point?
And, no.

[Catfish_Man]

XGrid should be able to. Probably not for prime95 or SETI@home though, unless someone's modified them to work with it.

i figure 3 computers can compute faster than one so when i am running maple i can finish the computations faster... thats the point

[Richard Edgar]

The answer is yes. Whether anything will run any faster is another matter entirely. For Seti@Home and the like, just run a separate copy on different work units on each machine. For Maple.... have you considered the possibility of reading the documentation?

[incubusdaemon]

only multithreaded applications will run faster on a cluster. MATLAB isn't multithreaded, so I don't expect maple to be either, and I know SETI@home isn't multithreaded.

SETI doesn't work on such a cluster. You can configure it on each computer to automatically get the work units. To have a `real' cluster, you can do that, too, I worked with a Linux-only mixed-hardware cluster which worked fine (Alpha + x86).
