Hey Michael,
Glad you got everything working!
Sounds like a very interesting project.
As far as eliminating the need to write C#, I'm not sure if that was the
intension of the XPManager. Did you get it to work? If so I'd be really
curious to know exactly how you did it, what problems you've encountered,
how you solved them, etc.
There has been quite a bit of discussion in the Alchemi dev lists about how
to improve the usability of Alchemi -- we'd appreciate any insight you might
have. The packaging issues have already been duly noted :)
I'm also very interesting in the "scavenging" approach. In fact, I've done
quite a bit of work with my IT department and developed a method in which
computers in a computer lab are dynamically added/removed to the grid upon
logoff/logon using group policy and a set of scripts that I wrote. I've been
meaning to start and/or update the documentation with this information but
have been pretty busy lately.
Best of luck,
-Matt

Yeah, I didn't do a strong search about it. I had some trouble with the
1.0.6 release, too. If I get a chance, I'll try to report those
problems.

OK... I was thinking I could use it to submit XML jobs that wrap megapov
to avoid having to write any C# whatsoever.

I did. Got everything coded in the wee to not-so-wee hours of the
morning. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute my sample code back to the
project (assuming you all would find it useful -- it's actually just
another implementation of a megapov wrapper). I just need to find out
from the publisher whether that would be Kosher or not.
I have to say, Alchemi is pretty cool (packaging issues aside). I'll
probably do a presentation about it later this semester in my Grid
seminar class when we get to CPU scavenging systems.
