Gearman, a friendly infrastructure for<br /> distributed tasks, gives developers and DBAs a large degree of flexibility<br /> in their applications. Using Gearman, developers can access libraries<br /> written in multiple languages, even if they are different from the ones<br /> used in their main application. DBAs will benefit from Gearman in their<br /> daily tasks, by accessing external features from within the database server<br /> itself. This session introduces Gearman principles and shows some simple</p> <p><a href="http://cph2010.drupal.org/sessions/introduction-gearman" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://cph2010.drupal.org/sessions/introduction-gearman#comments Curious Code & Development Intermediate development map/reduce multitasking parallel processing Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:16:05 +0000 datacharmer 8143 at http://cph2010.drupal.org
