XgridLite

XgridLite, a Mac OS X preference pane, enables the Xgrid distributed computing solution on the desktop version of Mac OS X. If you don’t need the advanced features of Mac OS X Server’s Xgrid controller but still want to run your own grid, XgridLite is for you.

With XgridLite, you can:

  • Turn on and off the built-in Xgrid controller with a single click.
  • Set passwords for client and agent authentication.
  • Reset the controller to default settings.

XgridLite is free and open-source software, released the GNU General Public License, Version 3, allowing you to freely modify and redistribute the software under the terms of the license. You can encourage my open-source development efforts by donating money.
