Grid Computing Assignment 1 Discrete Fourier Transform ...

Observations
1. There can be a provision for the user to list the various grid nodes participating in the
computation with status like busy, idle etc.
2. The total number of tasks and current task number are to be given to the subtasks by vishwa to
allow writing parallel code. Splitting the data manually is tedious and time consuming. Once these two
parameters are available, the sub task can read a selected region of the input data for processing.
3. It is observed that, when given number of splits more than one, most of the time the sub tasks are
executed on the same grid node and when executed on different nodes, the result is not properly
combined.
4. Finding the time requirement for the computation including task distribution and result
aggregation is difficult.
5. A provision can be given for submitting multiple source files including cpp files.
6. The 'user' program could read the parameters (metafile, sub task file, result file etc) from a file to
avoid entering these parameters every time for different runs.
7. Displaying the entire result file onto the screen can be avoided.
