Greetings everybody,
I've tried to come up with this message for a couple of weeks now and
it doesn't look like I'm getting any clearer in my thoughts so I
decided that it's probably best to take the plunge and ask you guys to
kindly throw me a rope...
What I'm trying to come up with is some kind of simple, dynamically
scalable, domain-agnostic, multi-processor capable, tasking system.
Maybe I'm already giving myself too many constraints here, i.e. it
might all be possible except... the "simple" part.
No, the problem is vagueness. We can't tell from your description
what you want to do. A real-time desktop application? Warehouse-scale
computing? Your own "cloud"?
Incidentally, bear in mind that once you scale beyond tens of
machines, error detection and recovery starts to dominate
the problem.
