Welcome to the Gearman Project!
Gearman is a system to farm out work to other machines, dispatching function calls to machines that are better suited to do work, to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, or to call functions between languages. The first implementation came from the folks at Danga Interactive (LiveJournal/SixApart) and was written in Perl. Client and worker libraries for other languages followed, one of which being a C implementation started by Brian Aker.
This wiki was setup to provide a single place to organize all information related to gearman. Documentation, use cases, developer information, and other general information will be added soon. If you work on or use gearman, please join in and help make this a useful resource!
