Faces in The Cloud: High-Throughput Data Processing with Message Queues, Part 1
As the title of this post alludes, this tutorial will guide you though the process of setting up a grid computing cluster, leveraging a high-performance message queue for task arbitration. This particular example will perform face detection on a number of images using Python, OpenCV, ImageMagick, and leveraging beanstalkd. My hope is that by the end of this tutorial you will understand a little bit about message queues, image processing, and grid computing.
