In order to resolve a computing intensive problem I'm working with a lot of recursive function, whoever i don't get a good answer in a short amount of time and sometimes I do get stack overflowing problem. Since the problem seems to be complex i would like to distribute it across a cluster of computer.
So to do that i wondering if i have to switch to an iterative approach rather than a recursive one ?
I didn't mention that I'm working with stored procedure ( they are called function in postgresql) because i need some predefined function that comes with postgis which is a spatial extension to postgreqsl.
An iterative method would suit well for a recursive function. The data can be shared across a cluster of computers with each performing one task sequentially. Pipelining using buffers can be adopted for processing in between the cluster groups.
