My two comments: a) Can we avoid commercial advertising on this list? Thanks. b) There are already public packages that work with Windows, "condor" is a nifty tool that comes to mind... http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/ -kcb -----Original Message----- From: bioclusters-bounces+brodie=mcw.edu at bioinformatics.org [mailto:bioclusters-bounces+brodie=mcw.edu at bioinformatics.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Ciruli Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 5:05 PM To: bioclusters at bioinformatics.org Subject: [Bioclusters] Anyone interested in distributing on Windows? Would anyone on this list have any interest in working with software that can manage distributed computing on Windows machines? I've been on the mailing list for over a year, and I realize that nearly all of the work that is going on here is Linux based (and most of it that isn't Linux is OS X). But we have a solution that is very easy to install and use and there may be people out there who could take advantage of Windows servers, desktops or cluster nodes in their lab or organization. The system can run on any Microsoft OS since 2000, and can distribute any executables or scripts that run on that platform (we've done much of our internal testing using NCBI BLAST). We are working with beta users now, and plan a commercial release in June. Please contact me directly if you're interested in working with our beta.
