We are developing a simulation program under Objectworks 2.5 from ParcPlace,
and would like to be able to write it as a set of coupled modules, in which
messages are passed between objects running on different Ethernetted Suns.
Has anyone done this? If so, how? We take as an example the networked
Mandelbrot program in C that some Suns have as a demo. Processes are
spawned on the remote Suns, and the results reported back to the initiating
one.
If this kind of distribution is not possible, can one run instances of the
simulation simultaneously on several Suns, keeping the statistics of
their individual work on one of the Suns.
All the Suns will be licenced for Objectworks 2.5 (up to 8 of them).

If the universe transcends formal methods, it might be interesting.

If so, how? We take as an example the networked PP 2.5 has pretty extensive Unix Socket method calls you take advantage There has been couple of distributed smalltalk projects done. Most of papers are in the OOPSLA proceedings (87,86) as well as book on Concurrent Object Oriented Programming by 'Yonezawa and Tokoro'. -- Sehyo Chang schang@netcom.uucp Ascent Logic Corp.
