i have an application that calculates huge data-files. it takes a lot of time to go through all the files with only one pc. some times we start the application several times on several pcs and take different files, so we save time.

now. i know there are a lot of cluster-computing projects out there. projects to delegate the things to calculate to other at the moment unused pcs which send back the result to the server.
how can i set up something like this?
how difficult is it?
what do i need to do it?
does anyone know of an open-source-project out there?
for winNT? Sad

tia!

well thank you.

there's no one out there that tried one of those projects or knows of problems on the way to realize it?
