Hi, I did a blind port of DIPC (http://wallybox.cei.net/dipc) to SPARC processors. Here blind means that due to the lack of equipment, I have not done any tests, not even a kernel compile. I would be grateful if someone of this list could test the patch, available by anonymous FTP from orion.cs.uregina.ca /pub/dipc. More adventurous people can test the who system (available from the same place). The following is the readme file accompanying the new patch. The file dipc-patch-1.1d.gz patches was prepared against a 2.2.10 linux kernel. It is based on the DIPC 1.1c kernel patch and has the following additions: *) The port to MIPS by Ralf Baechle (not tested in a cluster) *) The port to SPARC (blind, not compiled on target machine) *) The port to PowerPC (blind, not compiled on target machine) *) Some memory management modifications as proposed by David Miller (This might have introduced bugs into DIPC's shared memory subsystem) The rest of the package, including the user-space dameon dipcd, some tools and example programs, and also the documentation of DIPC, can be found in the file dipc-1.1c.tgz. Please test the patch, and if possible the whole system in a cluster, and report the results to me or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Kamran Karimi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
