[zeromq-dev] ZeroMQ application design questions

[Marc Demierre]

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently doing some tests and already have a
simulation that works, but I still have to implement a clean exit
procedure (that implies passing special messages to the threads to tell
the to exit)... Anyway, I wanted to keep too may things from the first
prototype and it is usually a mistake.

As I am not really experienced with concurrent programming, I just
wanted to know if some "standard" way to do this kind of things (getting
jobs, doing LRU for workers, receiving updates and results) with ZeroMQ
existed. I didn't ask for code, just for some advices about theory. I
described my job in details to show exactly what I didn't understand.

The examples found in The Guide always do an assume that we know how
many tasks there will be or how many results will be received. I have
some difficulties to build a complete thing, but I'll try until I
succeed :).
