Speaking of GpH, I wonder how is GdH coming along? It seems that the installation instruction on http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gdh/ is still incomplete...
As far as I know, Mosix has nothing to do with PVM, so am I right to say that GpH still needs PVM even you use it on a Mosix cluster? Then what will Mosix provide when you can have a PVM cluster without Mosix running the same thing? Regards, .paul.
