in reply to Clusters, Distributed Computing, and Perl

I've been overtasking for years and have learned the power of using a cron brain, a looped perl socket-server (for task dispatcher), and a bunch of child nodes waiting for microtasks. The child nodes are spread across your cluster.

In my grossly anti-knowledged opinion, it is identical to the fancy Message Maping Protocal Beowolf clusters rely on. Cept you'd have to set your cluster preferences yourself.

Sockets rock! You can define your own protocals for speed and memory management. My only beef with them is killing them can get tricky. But only b/c i'm green.
hope dis helps,

    Yeah, Net::IRC and Proc::Processtable rock... (Used these for 'stress testing' stuff...) Generated interesting test results to show how (in)flexible some software was...
