Contents

This tutorial is intended for running distributed programs on an 8-core MacPro that is setup as an XGrid Controller at Smith College. Most of the steps presented here should work on other Apple grids, except for the specific details of login and host addresses.

Another document details how to access the 88-processor XGrid in the Science Center at Smith College.

This document is the second part of a tutorial on the XGrid and follows the Monte Carlo tutorial.

Setup

This section assumes that you are using your own computer, or a computer in a lab, and that you have a secure shell client available on your computer. You will use the secure shell to connect to a host in the XGrid and run your programs from there.
