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of disproving an assertion by a counter-example has been replaced by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.
