Hello everyone,
I'm seeking some advice on implementing a poor man's distributed
processing system.
The goal is to use two debian boxes connected by a cross-cable
(PPP or eth) where one box does video capturing, some processing and
saving to disk (master, heavy load). The other box would download the
data and start crunching (slave, light load).
Now, the capturing box is both cpu and i/o stressed, so I'd like to
shutdown most of the daemons etc.
Exactly what network services are needed in order for the second box
to be able to connect ?
I'm seeking something like single-user with network services.
Second; is there some programming framework which would make easy for
the slave box to download files ? (programming libs etc.)
Or would it be easier to revert to socket programming in c. (done that
in the past..)
I guess shell scripts using ftp would suffice eventually, but this
seems...ahem..unelegant.
Any insights appreciated.
Tnx
