RE: Distributing simple tasks
Hi, Suppose I have an array of functions which I execute in threads (each thread get a slice of the array, iterates over it and executes each function in it's slice one after the other). Now I want to distribute these tasks between two machines, i.e give each machine half of the slices and let it run them in threads as described above. Is there an easy way, or an article on this matter you can point me to? Thanks, Noam I would suggest maybe a separate queue machine that would hand out each next function. That way if one machine takes a little longer, the faster machine can keep picking off functions and running them, while the slower machine can finish it's task. Just a thought. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Threads, forks, multiplexing - oh my
I have a program that was created by someone else and it does it's job beautifully. I now want to run multiple instances of this program on a client, after receiving the command line and args from a broker, dispatcher, whatever you want to call it. This dispatcher will listen for a connection from a client and then pass this client the command line to run this python program. The client will receive the command line, run the python program and then go get another one to run. It might run this program 4 times simultaneously (or so it will seem). I've read where forks will run programs but they replace the calling program - is that correct? Am I reading that right? If so, then my client program will have to use forks so it can run a program. Then are threads to run functions and not full-fledged programs? When, if ever, would I want to look at implementing multiplexing? Please help me clarify and if possible give me some direction for this. Thank you in advance. Thomas J.
