Programmer Question
My site is built in PHP. I have a WWW server, where all the uploads end up for processing, and then they get rsynced to one of the 4 media servers. If there is a slow and steady stream of uploads, the WWW server converts them all reasonably quickly, but if a bunch of people upload something at the same time, they queue up, and it may take several hours for a file to be processed.
The media servers are typically idle, since serving files off SSD drives results in no iowait, so the CPU is just sitting there, and I wanted to utilize it for conversions.
What would be a good (simple) way to do that?
