Keywords: distributed network programming Message-ID: <1990Apr11.062714.20742@wolves.uucp> Date: 11 Apr 90 06:27:14 GMT Reply-To: ggw@wolves.UUCP (Gregory G. Woodbury) Followup-To: comp.sources.wanted Organization: Center for Demographic Studies, Duke University Lines: 17 I am interested in finding some pointers to information about sharing computational resources (especially number crunching) in a distributed environment. What I have is a network of MC88000 based workstations that I would like to have any or all of them participate in calculating some part or portion of an iterative analysis program. I have heard some reports of a system called Linda, but lack any real references. All pointers would be appreciated. 2. I see occasional references to a journal by the name of "Software Practice and Experience". Who publishes this and is there another name by which I might recognize it? (e.g. SIGPLAN something or other?) -- Gregory G.
