[SSI-users] moving data around

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hello all,

I am writing something that calculates a fractal on a 13 node cluster.

I have everything working (something that executes programs on all the slave
nodes that do the iterations and a program that runs on the main node to
"collect" the data and display the picture.)

I have all the slave nodes dump their data in a file. The calculations seem to
be pretty quick however writing the data seems to be very slow.

Is there a way to do things differently ?  For example can I access an allocated
chunk of memory on a different node ?

thanks,

Ron
