There are several MPI and PVM tools, a port of Berkeley's GLUnix (which provides the process migration you're asking about, but not necessarily the cluster I/O... don't know how functional that is at the moment, though), and Tim Rightnour's clusterit (which is definitely--and purposely--bare bones compared to what you're describing, but it wouldn't be a bad starting point). > I'm working with a group that is using a mosix cluster, but I'd rather use > NetBSD than GNU/Linux. It would be rather difficult to port Mosix directly to NetBSD, if that's what you're after.

I would also be interested in that, but GridEngine doesn't really provide the things that Phil's looking for. It's more useful for dispensing and scheduling processes. It doesn't do migration or cluster computation of I/O. On Fri, Feb 27, 2004 at 09:16:16AM -0600, David Burgess wrote: > I have an intern that might be interested in some of this.

If you've got an intern interested in porting GridEngine to NetBSD, they should probably start with the Sourceforge page: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr%eclipsed.net@localhost
