in thread Clustered Perl Applications?

The number crunching is coordinated by a central node.
It is just handing out job ids, the number crunchers are then fetching the data from the right storage server (storage servers hold ranges of jobids), crunching the data and sending it to another storage server where the data is saved for later analysis.
Storage servers are MySQL and always readwrite.

    So the number-crunchers are fetching/storing data (using SOAP) from storage servers, which are fetching/storing the data from MySQL servers - or am I misunderstanding?

    Why do you need the intermediaries? Why not have the number-crunchers fetch/store directly to the MySQL servers?

    (apologies if I'm being dim - rather late here.)
