Distributed Programing Question

[AFB]

For fun, I just want to make a DC program in Java to do some prime number searching using my own message passing . Now the questions :

• Redundancy and Storage, how do I store the results and makes sure that the work given out to one client isn't done twice for no reason, but is redone if a client doesn't send the work back.

• I was assuming it would be best to use UDP if it sent the results back as soon as it was done, or TCP if it implemented caching. It just needs to allow me to send a serialized Java class as byte data.

• Best DC program to run? I would prefer if it didn't start as soon as I start my computer since I like it's fast start time.

Thanks

Pick one which interests you. Start up should not be affected as they run at low priority.
