I am working on a remote execution manager system on network of SUN
workstations. This system allows user to replicate processes on different
nodes and uses pipe and socket for communication among processes.
The communication is pair-wise between processes and is rather inefficient
when we have to communicate with several child processes simultaneously.
I would like to implement a multicast facility in order to speedup
communication among workstations. However the problem is the fact
that the remote execution manager system is built entirely in the application
layer. We are not supposed to change the unix kernel in the process of
implementing this multicast facility.
If there is anyone out there who has any ideas how it can be done or has
some source code written in C which are related to the above problems
are welcome to send me an email.
