4CAT: Cloud Edition
What if resource-intensive workers could be run on other servers?
Due to the modular nature of 4CAT this is not too complex. The main issue would be keeping track of where the data is located and making sure the data for an analysis is stored on the same server as the analysis worker.
Something located far away on the roadmap, but as some momentum is building, this would be a great way to leverage the available resources and become less reliant on UvA server space.
become less reliant on UvA server space.
Altough we should also make sure we're not too reliant on external server space, which is volatile as well..
