dcap - A Distributed Computation Architecture in Python

dcap is a lightweight server-client architecture that allows you to execute all kinds of different computational tasks on clients on a local network and have them send their results back to the server.

OS Compatibility:

• Linux: Tested on Ubuntu
• OS X: Some issues occur as sem_getvalue() from the multiprocessing is not implemented, see <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html target="_blank">the documentation
• Windows: Does not work due to issues with the multiprocessing library, see <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing-programming target="_blank">the documentation . I currently do not have a Windows machine to test on.
