- You need to create a distributed queue which can work across different networks. Something like rabbit-mq
- Put all yours tasks in the queue.
- Create a central worker management tool that let’s you create and manage workers on Computer A and Computer B. Workers will process your tasks.
- You also need to take care availability of workers to achieve what you said –
if Computer A finishes its tasks before Computer B, I would like Computer A to take on some of Computer B’s remaining tasks
Luckily, python has an excellent library “Celery” which let’s you achieve exactly what you want. It’s a well documented library and has a large and diverse community of users and contributors. You just need to setup a broker (or queue) and configure celery.
There are lots of features in Celery that you can use as per your requirement – Monitoring/Scheduling jobs/Celery canvas to name a few.
