[Beowulf] transcode Similar Video Processing on Beowulf?

[Gavin W. Burris]

I think this an interesting distinction, between RPC and simple queues.
RPC relies on a client calling on a known remote server, where simple
queues allow a horde of workers to pull messages off as they are
available.  I can see a use case for either depending on scale.

Cheers.
