<p>Andrew Johnson will be giving a talk at <a href="http://www.yapcna.org" target="_blank">YAPC::NA 2012</a> described as:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Helios is a distributed job processing system that allows users to write applications to spread workloads across multiple processes and servers. Â The Helios job queuing, configuration, and logging APIs aim to provide a user with an environment to easily write applications that scale across multiple processes and hosts. Â My talk will focus on Helios basic concepts and features (especially new features introduced in the new 2.4x series) with a particular interest in how to write simple Helios applications. Â I will also cover best practices for getting the best performance out of the Helios environment.</p>
