[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] pdx.pm: Parallel and Distributed Perl -- meeting on Wed. Jan 9th

[Eric Wilhelm]

Hi all,

Wednesday Jan 9th at 6:53pm, Free Geek

  Speaker:  Eric Wilhelm (aka "me")


Parallel and Distributed Perl

  Presenting techniques and tools for parallelizing and distributing 
tasks across multiple cores or nodes with perl (and mostly on *nix.)  
The focus is on clean architecture, cross-platform clustering, and 
removing the distinctions between SMP and clustering.

  * basics:          models and laws
  * control:         forking/ssh/daemons
  * communication:   pipes/NFS/IPC
  * management:      waiting, polling, killing
  * non-blocking:    iterators, cursors, IO::Select
  * bonus:           unionfs+NFS
  * if time allows:  threads
