Distributed::Process - a framework for running a process simultaneously on several machines.

++

++

This modules distribution provides a framework to run tasks simultaneously on several computers, while centrally keeping control from another machine. Architecture Overview The tasks to run are implemented in a "worker" class, that derives from "D::P...

Distributed::Process::Worker - a base class for a worker

++

++

The tasks that one wishes to run distributedly must be implemented in the run() method of a class derived from "Distributed::Process::Worker". By default, this in turn derives from "Distributed::Process::LocalWorker", so the custom class also derives...

Distributed::Process::Server - a class to run the server of a Distributed::Process cluster.

++

++

This class handles the server part of the cluster. It maintains an internal list of Interface objects, one of which is the Master. The Master object must be instanciated and declared with the Server before the listen() method is invoked. The listen()...

Distributed::Process::Client - a class to run a client in a Distributed::Process cluster.

++

++

This class handles the client part of the cluster. It derives its handling of the network connection from "Distributed::Process::Interface". A "D::P::Worker" object must be associated to the Client, by means of the worker() or worker_class() methods,...

Distributed::Process::Master - a class to conduct the chorus of D::P::Workers, under a D::P::Server.

++

++

A "D::P::Server" manages a number of "D::P::Interface" objects, one of which is a "Distributed::Process::Master". The role of the Master is to handle requests from the user, coming in on its in_handle() (usually, the standard input), and act as an in...

Distributed::Process::BaseWorker - base class for all workers, both local and remote

++

++

Methods None of these methods is actually implemented in this base class. They're all implemented either in Distributed::Process::LocalWorker, or in Distributed::Process::RemoteWorker. Methods in Distributed::Process::LocalWorker will usually simply ...

Distributed::Process::LocalWorker - a base class for Distributed::Process::Worker when running on the client side.

++

++

This class implements the methods declared in "D::P::BaseWorker" as they should work on the client side....
