Subject: Load sharing in Plan 9
Date: Sat, 5 Aug 1995 12:39:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950805163944.Qpk65wV7nzQewB_8_0Ow-ji9RiHcTq_T5R5SpdopBDk@z> (raw)
Given a PC running Plan 9, one user & a desire for more computational
horsepower (mainly for large compiles & CPU-eating background jobs like
searching for factors of huge numbers), I can afford:
either another PC, 16 megs, fast 486 or low-end Pentium
or half a dozen Sun 3/60s each with 16 megs & 20 MHz 68020
Costs on these are roughly equal.
Does Plan 9 have load-sharing support to make the multi-Sun
configuration an interesting parallel compute server? Or has
anyone ported PVM or other similar code?
