Hi..

how to incorporate RMI in Beowulf cluster. Since i use RMI server for my
search. Is it possible in LAM-MPI without changing my current code. What are
the possible ways to use the same code without recoding???


Regards,

Rahult

Ask the guys at Google how they did it...

But generally, I think it must be a *very* big company with heavy search
traffic if a single server can not perform this task. I really doubt
that this is the case here. Therefore, it might be easier to buy a
bigger machine than to go parallel for this. Did you analyze where the
bottleneck is?
