After Effects render-farm tonic

GridIron's software takes care of the configuration and management tasks required to run a computing job across a group of computers – work that would be too complex for most end-users to handle themselves, Abbas said.

okay, i admit i don't know too much about clustered computing, but doesn't this seem pretty similar to xGrid, except adobe is paying money to use it?

Rendezvous?

I wonder if they are using Rendezvous (aka ZeroConf) for the discovery of other nodes like xGrid, iTunes, Tivo HMO and xCode do.

I really hope so, as I would love to see it become widely used as a cross-platform standard.

I'm surprised we haven't seen this kind of thing for Final Cut Pro already. Hopefully this will spur Apple to implement it. (finger's crossed!)
