Fw: [AG-TECH] multinode?

[Natalia Costas Lago]

Mmmm.... i dont understand then the "grid" part of AccessGrid, I though you 
could "send a job" to a resource on the grid... I know almost nothing about 
grid computing. How can u do that without comands like "globus-job-run"??
Could you send me some directions about how could I do it from Linux or 
windows?. Is there any documentation related to "how to access the grid 
using AccessGrid?", we have a deparment working on projects related to grid, 
I would like to know the things I should ask to them in order to do a demo 
about AccessGrid "grid" capabilities.

The point is that i wanna shouw our collegues a demo about accessing the 
grid and working together using the Accessgrid.

Kind regards,
Natalia.
