Re: [9fans] Grid computing architecture w/ 9P + Java ;-)
P.S. Speaking of Inferno -- I have always wanted to run it natively on these puppies: http://www.sunspotworld.com/ That's a seriously cool idea. I just discovered we have a dev kit here at work. I can't say for sure whether the powers that be will approve of me spending time working on an Inferno port, but I think I can at least take a look in between anything else that comes up. Time to start playing... BLS

Cool :) Let's me know if you've got something working (maybe even ported to p9p ?) My functional programming experiences are some ages ago, but I think, I should dig it out again ... Would be even cool, if we someday have an distributed multi-language grid environment :) That's the point, where 9P/synthetic filesystems make *REALLY* fun. cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ cellphone: +49 174 7066481 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

Actually, I like Java (the language, NOT the fat J2EE crap), and a trimmed-down Java is also suited for small devices, eg. can be partially done in hardware. (I'm not yet used to Limbo, maybe I'll dive into it later). The idea behind is having a *very small* jvm (eg. kvm or further trimmed-down jamvm with only very few base classes) which runs on virtually any device anywhere in the net and build a big grid out of these devices, recycling unused resources on uncountable of bored machines around the world, from routers to big servers ;P cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ cellphone: +49 174 7066481 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --
Re: [9fans] Grid computing architecture w/ 9P + Java ;-)
so if you are using 9p and servers, where does java come in ? Why to you care what language it is? ron

But since we've got a set at work, it's a chance to maybe get paid for doing some Inferno work. BLS

It's a bit of old Burroughs MF, a bit of Ambric and a bit ja Java ;-o The idea bind: have a bunch of tiny Java machines (not the whole JEE bloat, just a very small set of basic classes) which talk to each other through filesystems (of course via 9P ;-P). At the moment, I'm doing a massive trim-down of Jamvm+classpath, leaving in only what's needed for a small hello-world. Later, I'll create an minimalistic embedded firmware for small devices which then should run in an grid. If anyone's interested, just let me know.

I am guessing it would also work on a remote machine, meaning I can compile the handler on a super fast plan9 or a p9p machine and just mount the plumber and run my haskell code as usuall. This also means that any language that has file IO will be able to use the handlers. I am not sure if plumber was designed to do this, but it seems to work on some of my simple arithmetic libraries. -- http://www.fernski.com
