Hi,
my first post here. I need to perform several transcoding tasks in parallel.
The transcoder is a mono-threaded java program reading some files (as a
whole) and generating some other files.
Although each transcoding job cannot be splitted, I would like to use OSCAR
in order to transparently manage a cluster if linux computers as a single
computer, capable of executing many transcoding jobs in parallel on
different cores.
Ideally, I would like to see the entire cluster as a single super-computer
with a single IP address, so that I can
1) FTP-put a input<N>.zip archive containing the source files to be
transcoded somewhere on the super-computer
2) FTP-get from the super-computer an output<N>.zip archive containing
the transcoded files
My question is: how hard is this to achieve with OSCAR ?
Is it OSCAR well suited for the purpose I described ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Antonio.
