Subject: [9fans] grid computing -- high performance?

Message-ID: <Pine.BSI.4.58.0409240908590.15930@malasada.lava.net> (raw)

I know that people experiment with plan 9 for grid computing,
since the operating system is well suited for it. I was wondering
if it is used for actual high performance work?
Do people use the plan 9 compilers? It doesn't seem like the p9 compilers
are suited for high performance number crunching (not that I think they
are bad compilers). Have people ported optimizing compilers? If
so, which ones, and are they available?
Does the operating system have any support for SSE in the 386 port?
On a slightly unrelated note, does 8c make any attempts to generate
code that is reasonable for the pentium-4? For example, 16-byte aligning
control flow targets?
