Distributed Computing

[Christopher Stratmann]

I would like to speed up my processing with visual studio and or other programs. Does anyone know of free distributed computing software that I can run with Visual Studio 2005 to speed up processing? Does anyone know of free distributed computing software that I can run other programs with (Run Visual Studio 2005 on my computer and SQL Server 2005 on another computer which is accessed on my computer)? It doesn't have to be over the internet but through a LAN.

Not sure exactly what you are doing, but BOINC is an amazing distributed computer framework. A simple Google search will find you loads of information.

What are you going on about. SQL Server and every other Database natively support remote connections and have like forever. :omg::wtf:

I guess sql server is a bad example. Maybe if I had 3 Visual Studio 2005 instances running. I would want one working on my computer and the other two computing on another computer.

As far as I am aware, Visual Studio is NOT a distributed application. If you have found information to the contrary perhaps you could supply a link to it? I seems so far you've done a very poor job either understanding distributed computing or explaining your question.

Thanks you for the answer to my question. I was simply asking if it was possible to have distributed computing for Visual Studio 2005. The other part of my question involves something entirly different. I was wanting to know if I could have an ENTIRE application (Ex: VS2005) running on another computer but being controled from my computer.

Yes there are various technologies for doing just that. They are NOT equal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_control_software[^]

I dont know if you are referring to this: Grid Computing[^]

If you want to know if you can spread a large projects compile over multiple machines to speed it up there's 3rd party software to do so. IIRC the one I've heard of before is called incredibuild.

Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull
