Run grid with same user in multiple machines

Hi!
I'm the administrator of a cmoputer room with 20 computers, so I'm thinking about installing the grid client in all them with my user, is it posible???
Anyway, is there a linux version of the client??
Thanks.

Re: Run grid with same user in multiple machines

Hi xisco!

Yes it is possible. I'm running the grid agent on 6 different machines, all with the same username. The Grid statistics page will split the results it received for your username from the different machines, so you can easily keep track of what each machine is doing.

As for your second question, I don't believe there is a version for Linux, as of yet. Maybe they will release one in the future, but I can't speak on that.

Welcome!

They're planning on having a Unix and Linux version early next year, and they're thinking about a Mac version too, though this is less likely in the near term.
