The open sourcing of Grand Central comes as something of a surprise, because it is a core technology in Snow Leopard, and could be seen to give Apple a competitive edge in the new world of multi-core... Grand Central is more likely to be added to other UNIX and Linux systems, none of which really pose a threat to Appleâs consumer-based business... allowing Grand Central to be ported to other UNIX/Linux systems will encourage its use... be incorporated into command line tools... Of course, this is also very interesting for scientific developers. It may be possible to parallelize code in the not too distant future using Grand Central Dispatch, and run that code not only on Macs, but also on clusters and supercomputers.Thanks Swordmaker.
Sounds like a great tool for developing train schedules.
