Double it once and that's where this kind of "global everything" idea starts to fall over. Badly. It would be neat to see freebsd do something really new and novel in clustering. ssci-linux is not it. It's going to be very hard to pick something new, a lot of the ground is well-trod. For other examples of what you can do (maybe not what you SHOULD do) see npaci ROCKS, OSCAR, and follow the references from there. On the should-do list, see plan 9 -- (on plan 9 I tend to sound like a broken record) read and understand the Plan 9 stuff, see how well it would work as a cluster technology (we have a 32-node plan 9 cluster here, it's quite cool), and see about bringing those neat ideas to freebsd. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
