Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 ARM questions
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 250602d8-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hello all,

I am studying for a MSc in High Performance Computing at the Edinburgh University, UK.
As part of my dissertation project, I was thinking to use Plan 9 as compute node for ARM-based clusters.
My idea is to "port" the ideas of Plan 9 on Bluegene to ARM.
I have a couple of questions:
1) How is the status of linuxemu? Does it work only on x86 or is it portable? This because of MPI/OpenMP/FORTRAN widely used in High Performance Computing.
2) Is someone already working to port Plan 9 on Exynos5/Cortex A15 processors?

I'm still checking with my university if I can use this project also for the GSoC 2013.

Thank you for your time,
Paolo P. Martino
