Thank you for the response, it was quite an interesting read. Unfortunately, I'm not a great coder, so I can't take you up on that offer. You mentioned that GPUs took over, but not all problems can run on GPUs. There may still be a general interest in this (I know I am interested).
How was it presented to the users? Could they query to see the current utilization of the system? How did you know that a job completed (or failed)? You mentioned it was a shared memory system, meaning it was in essence a "very large SMP machine" from the view of the OS? Could the NIX system only work with shared memory systems like that, or was it possible to take many smaller independent systems and combine their resources? Anything you can say about the actual usage would be quite interesting - what kind of applications are we talking? Was there commercial interest? ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T7692a612f26c8ec5-Mad958dee6fd001441970abf8 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
