Hi,
I'm a laptop user & student of image, video, sound processing. Laptops
have big limitations on processing big, complex data or algorithms but
are great as a "portable terminals to connect".
In my case, my laptop have a Intel Pentium M processor 1.2 GHz.
I would like to prepare a "zombie" and strong Desktop Computer to make
him work what I do in my laptop. ( But it could be also interesting to
do a small cloud of computers to distribute the work ! )
This follows the phylosophy of paying a laptop for his portability,
and a desktop/server (fixed Computer) for processing. No, I don't want
a ultrabook with intel i7, etc.
Anyone would like to share his solution for this problem in Octave
(speficically) or in general (as a operative system)? Preferred
crossplatform solutions (If Windows or GNU/Linux users could give work
to him )
I see the BOINC app [0], but I don't know how can be used. Docs,
tutorials?? Here is a message in 2005, asking this in a similar way [1]
Octave provides packages to work in parallel processing, multicores,
etc. [2]. But i'm not interested in this, because I want a "standard
code" that anyone can execute (with his resources).
Also I'm not interested in the solution of "ssh -X" (X forwarding) or
with a full remote x server [3]with copies between computers with scp
or rsync / luckybackup
Thanks,
Pedro
