Using A Cluster Of Macs To Share Computational Power

Question

[nilakshafreezon]

Dear All,

I started working at a newly established bioinformatics firm, where I'm using my mac pro to do the analysis. But I'm surrounded by, 4 iMacs which are still not in use, but have 2.7GHz quad core i5 processors. I searched through internet and came across that, XGrid can cluster the computers easiliy but it seems like it is not available anymore for Mac OSx mavericks. Any alternative option is highly appreciated. Since I'm not an expertise in this field yet, even a small piece of information would be really valuable for me.. Thanks a lot in advance :)
