Looking at RMI, Corba, SOAP, MPI, etc. I wonder which is the best
way to interface a heavyweight server process. With "heavyweight" I
mean a process which takes several minutes to start up, uses 2GB
of RAM and of course likes to have 100% CPU time. I think such
a beast should reside on its own dedicated machine and it shall only
accept one request at a time, do the computation and send back the
result. Access control, queueing and the like shall be done on a
front-end machine.
Now, which method whould be best for the communication between the
front-end (e.g. an application server) and the compute server?
Thanks,
