The effort to port to HP-UX and AIX is going to center mostly on Qpid's I/O layer and event handling. Linux, Windows, Solaris ports all use their own OS facilities that are most favorable to performance on that platform; AIX and HP-UX needs a similar bunch of code to be developed. It's possible they can use the same one (maybe select()-based) to get going quickest, though that may not yield the best performance. There will also be some work for threading and synchronization but I expect this can pretty much reuse the same code as Linux - it's plain pthreads. Figure a couple of months of work to get this going. I have these types of machines available if you decide to pursue this effort and want help porting it. -Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:users-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
