i am developing an application in vb 6 tht takes a huge amoutn of time to run so wht i want to do is to be able to run multiple instances of the application on on a network <br>i want to be able to specify for each application on which computer it should run<br>is it possible thru mts or dcom?

Before talking about multiple instances, is there a way to optimize the application so it yeilds better performance? <p>Steve<br><a href=mailto:tribesaddict@swbell.net>tribesaddict@swbell.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

no i cant<br>i am buliding a user inerfce over neural netowrks GIS and some c programmes which take time<br>and process huge amout=nts of data so optimisation isnt the answer<br>i want to run diff data sets at the same time so i do need some kind of networking accessible thru VB

Okay. There are very few who will answer your question as stated. Please restate your question using whole words. I will try to answer it, if able. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

Blaze,<br><br>Sounds like fun stuff...<br><br>No where near as good with MTS or DCom as I'd like to be. (So bad in fact this post contains about all I know about them).<br><br>On a simple level, a common protocol for your component parts and a means to relay that information is all you need.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dcom and MTS embody this, but you might be able to impliment it in a simplified Client server type solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Actually it sounds like you have this part licked and are just looking for a controller/coordination piece.&nbsp;&nbsp;Have too many questions in the air to determine where to go next.<br><br>In the words of the great Johnny 5 -- &quot;Need more input.&quot;<br><br>Big Questions,<br>What is the component computer environment intranet/internet?<br>How about data security, integrity are these issues to be concerned with?<br>What kind of connectivity/communication is required?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>What kind of software availability/delivery methods do you employ (manual/automagic)?<br><br>Even more fun...<br>How quickly are component machines required to respond to assignment changes?<br>What kind of information is the controller to base processing assignments on?<br><br><br>Last and most fun!<br>Can you afford me? <FONT FACE=monospace></font><br> <p>Wil Mead<br><a href=mailto:wmead@optonline.net>wmead@optonline.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

hi wilmead<br>the network i will be using will most probabaly a lan<br>data security is not a big problem infact i dont need to be concerend about it.<br><br>when the machines would be passed on the model to run they dont need to respond to anything until they run the model.in effect wht i want the machine to do is to run the whole model ;finsih it off and pass th4e data back to the server.<br><br><br>The selection of the machines for assignments is purely based on the availabilty of resouces on that machine i.e cpu usage free memory etc..<br><br><br>as far as the spftware delievry methods are concerend&nbsp;&nbsp;i would like to be flexible on that.<br>thanks<br>HELP ME!!!<br>my prof will kill me if this doesnt go thru
