Hi, I'm new to OSCAR and to clustering in general. I have a question about an application I want to run, but I don't know if a cluster software could help to do the job. In fact it's more to get into clustering and to play with it that I'm here (in fact I guess a big new machine would do the job efficiently) than an absolute need of cluster for this application.
I'd like to do motion detection using 4 cameras connected to an AXIS 2400 Camera server (http://www.axis.com/products/camera_servers/videoserver.htm). I already do this on 2 cameras using motion (http://motion.sourceforge.net/) on a linux box, but my two motion processes consume about half a CPU each (yes it may be configured in order to use less, but I want to keep my confiugration as it's now) and the 2 new cameras which are coming make me think about an alternative solution thant buy a additionnal CPU and disks to store MPEGS. My question is: Is it useful to have a linux cluster (e.g. with minimum 2 * Intel PIII machines) running these motion processes ? Do you think this might be interesting to do ? Is it a good use of cluster ? thank you in advance, Bastien. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users
