Computational Cluster with C# and .Net

I have an application that is computationally intensive. It will read and
process a DB/2 database containing over two million records. My initial
design was to build the application using C++, MPI and a Linux cluster.
However, rather than invest in the hardware and software to do this, I was
wondering about the feasibility of building it in C# (which I also know).
The application could be distributed across our 500 Windows 2000 PC's and
run as a screensaver at lunch and night.

Has anyone written an application such as this and can speak about some of
the issues surrounding .Net security (particularly in storing confidential
information on a potentially unsecure desktop - ie, encryption), DB/2
database performance in .Net, etc.

Thank you in advance,
JJ Lay

Hi: I'm trying to setup a MS Cluster but I don't know if it is feasible to configure it in the way I think. I have two machines with win2k server and MSSQL-2000 one of them is currently performing as the production database and the other one is the backup. The secondary one is keeping updated via the "Log Shipping" technic.

Hi, We have many servers setup as a cluster. When one server crashes, another one take the relay... We want to know if it's possible (I suppose it is) to make a Windows service developed with .NET 2.0 work in a cluster environment. I mean, how to make sure the service will take the relay if one server fails. Is there something special to do or it will work by itself? (I'm not personally used to clusters, we need it at my office and they...

Hi All, I'm hoping someone will have some words of wisdom for me regarding MS Clustering on Windows 2003. I have a service that runs on a cluster. During invocation it's supposed to determine from the cluster which node is active (this is a active/standby configuration) and either proceed or sleep depending on the status. The interface to the cluster is that advertised by the standard interop layer built by Visual Studio for the...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
