The "Distributed Processing Mgt Sys" (DPMS) is a software framework (based on "POCO" open source libraries) that provides simple interfaces for executing various "tasks" (applications/processes) across a "farm" of servers. The DPMS framework handles finding which server systems can execute which "tasks", as well as load balancing the tasks across the available "farm" of server systems.
One potential use is for creating a "farm" of servers that does media processing/encoding/transcoding in parallel, across many server nodes.
