The SSI technology is around quite a while, there are now couple of implemntations of it (BProc, Mosix, OpenSSI, etc.). How stable is it today? I wonder if SSI could work for an Old SMP Code, on, say, a small (4-8 nodes) Linux PC cluster with modern high-bandwidth low-latency interconnect. Does anybody have any experience with SSI? Thank you! -- WBR, Grigory Shamov Kazan Science Centre of RAS
