I mentioned blender because we have a relationship with people in the community, a relationship worth building on if we can. The key here..is being about 'chunk' the work. I could probably come up with all sorts of interesting scientific numerical studies which just amount to running the same calculations over and over again with slightly different parameters that would work fine in a a Fedora grid. Processing images captured from a network of robotic telescopes for example. But I'm not sure we've got anything internally as a project that makes use of a grid beyond a proof of principle. Sure we could do packages across a grid, but that's bound to be limited by bandwidth more than cpu I'm not sure its a big win compared to the effort to get it working as part of the build system. But what the hell do i know anyways. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
