Hi, i'm working on an Alchemi application which goal is to process a lot of termographic files.
Now my grid has this structure:
1 Manager
4 Executors
1 Pc that stores the files to be treated.
The idea is that each executor gets to its hard disk the required file from a shared folder in the store pc, and then treats it, but i'm not sure if this is the best way to do it.
I've also thought about getting the files from the store pc via ftp, but i doubt if it would be as efficient as the first one.
Do you have any differente idea?
Which one do you think suits better to Alchemi and the idea of Grid?
Thanks for your help.
Marcos.

Using a shared machine for the data is fine, as long as you don't run into locking issues.
Just make sure one executor accesses the file at a time, and you should be fine.
