Free Film Project - Remote & Distributed Processing

This will document all the requirements for remote access and distributed processing within the project. This is intended as a guide for other programmers wishing to contribute to the project.

Requirements

Where applicable, it should be practical to split a single task which is inherently comprised of seperable units, and make those units available to others.
- eg: For graphics rendering, it would be possible to split the frames up into N blocks, and farm out those blocks. For CSO, the machine grabbing the physical frames can farm off the work to merge the image with one generated by the computer, and a third machine can (if desired) patch the results back onto film.
Because these are the best packages, at present, the project is going to use Cosm for large-scale distribution of live data, and CVS for small-scale distribution for static data. A CVS server, set up initially for code only, will be up and running very shortly.
