Re: Task distribution project Q

The simplest thing that can possibly work in your case is to use dsh. split(1) will chop the file up for you. If your needs are sufficiently simple you could do this without Perl on the master machine at all.

Thanks Aristotle. Actually I have no problem splitting the file per se, just sending out the jobs and getting responses is the tough part. Never had to deal with this because I had SGE at my disposal...	[reply]

I know. I'm just saying that this can all be done in just sh if your response processing is not so complex as to be painful in it. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
