Hi, I looked into the home page of the SSI project and it seems to have common goals of the Phase-2 project. The difference is that we have things that are not currenly on their road map (migratable sockets) and a memory strategy that supports clustered shared memory (which they don't have). To port something is nice for getting things quick, but I don't see phase-2 as wholy taking code from SSI. We will share components that are in common with it (such as filesystems and such) but really the phase-2 stuff really only affects the process schedule and VM subsystem. The stuff with sockets is another matter and should be portable. I myself only know the BSD kernel well and I think it would take a person with equal knowledge of both kernels to realize a porting effort. Where re-inventing the wheel is generally a bad thing, I consider it a good thing when such system software is correctly implemented--which is not necessarily possible in a porting effort. -Andy Rouzer, Charles A (Chuck) wrote: > Just curious if anyone has considered porting SSIC-Linux to FreeBSD? > > This is exactly what I'm looking for in the future of FreeBSD >clustering. > >-- >Chuck Rouzer >Vital Information Technology, Inc. >http://www.vitalit.com >http://www.vitalserver.com > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
