Where the application is running? 

A custom made exe and supporting dll files are on a production server(e.g. S1). These set of files are interecting with flat files database on another server(e.g. DB1). There are four more desk top machines (e.g. D1, D2, D3, D4) connected to S1 and DB1. Shortcuts of application exe are draged on these four D1, D2, D3, D4 desktops from S1.

Four users click on on draged shortcut on respective desktops and run the application. Are four instances of application using the CPU and memory resources of S1 server or the CPU and memory resources of respective desktop machines D1, D2, D3, D4? Any idea?

Re: Where the application is running? 

hello peter welcome to the forum...

 

see the server is just providng you the application...all computation will be done at the respective client machines.....so they will be using CPU and memory resources of respective desktop machines D1, D2, D3, D4.

 

this is a common practice in distibuted enviornment cause it shortens the bandwidth traffic and gives us fastwer access and increase the performance of client systems.

Re: Where the application is running? 

I was referring application as set of exe and DLLs.

Application exe runs on local machines but DLL are not pulled on local machines.

So work is distributed amongst server CPU and local CPUs.
