[SSI] Re: Compaq launches Open SSI Cluster Projects

[Bruce W. <br...@ka...>]

Alan,
  We are very interested in working with any and all
Linux cluster groups.  I haven't sent a response to
your earlier message about your framework  because
I haven't studied it enough to react intelligently.

The desire to produce SSI cluster may add
requirements to your framework.  As for APIs, a
set of proposed membership APIs is included in the
Cluster Infrastructure project (along with all the code
to build, boot and play with for clusters that may
scale up to 64 nodes (haven't tested that big yet,
though)).
I would very much like to start a discussion on
membership APIs (since in our experience, this is
the first place an application might become cluster
aware).  I'll send the URL where you can review them.
