GridServer Design Guidelines

This section discusses two important aspects to consider when designing an application to run on GridServer: data movement, and task or Service request duration. There are a variety of ways to move data among the machines involved in an application; the first section considers their characteristics and suggests which to choose under various circumstances. When you divide a problem into a set of tasks or Service requests, you can usually select how many to use, or equivalently, how much time each one can take. The second section discusses factors that can influence this decision.
