Question two: has anyone tried using Plan 9 to run a rendering farm?
Not to my knowledge. However, Gerard Holzmann has a rack of 16 PCs
(500MHz machines with .5GB RAM each, connected by 100Mbit ether) each
running Plan 9 that he uses to farm out SPIN jobs (see spin(1)). A
web page is used to submit and retrieve jobs; rc scripts distribute
the calculations around the farm and cpu and import and of course the
shared file server are used to pass data. The stats(1) display of all
16 machines running is very pretty. Works great in practice; it's
used full time to verify software used in telephone and network
switching equipment.
