You might want to look at Condor <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor>, which does something similar; processes are allowed to be checkpointed and "migrated" to another machine. Sounds similar to what you describe above. It's fairly useful for high-throughput computing (making use of all/any idle CPU cycles). -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
