Greetings. I am seeking distributed programming systems for my PhD
research. I am interested in systems that allow programming of a
loosely-coupled heterogeneous multicomputer, and that are message
based. I intend to implement task partitioning and scheduling
algorithms that I am developing. If anyone knows of such a system
that does not place restrictions upon its use, I'm very interested in
hearing about it.
Oh, I'm just a lowly grad student whose professor has little to
nothing in the way of funding, so the cheaper, the better.
For example, Hermes from IBM is almost ideal. The hangup there is the
draconian user agreement that states that any "derivative works"
become the property of IBM and that they can do whatever they please
with them. I find that odious and would rather implement my own
system than use theirs under such restrictions.
Thanks for your time. Please respond via e-mail; I will summarize if
there is sufficient interest.
