FWIW, I haven't found much left, and finally purchased your (and al.) article about HARE: The Right-Weight-Kernel... Since it considers, among others, Plan 9, it's of much interest for me ;) What impresses me much is the state of the open source cluster solutions from a rapid tour. clustermatic: not much left from lanl openmosix: closed beowulf: seems to have stalled a little since 2007 kerrighed: "After 8 years of research it is considered a proof of concept", but "for obtaining a stable system, we have disabled some features". I hope that the last [from memory] quotes do not imply that the old way of disproving an assertion by a counter-example has been replaced by considered proved an assertion by advertising a limited not crashing too fast example. -- Thierry Laronde (Alceste) http://www.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
