Yeah a SSI is pretty useless without HPC card support.

Lack of migration of shared memory chunks of a few kilobytes each is  
in fact a smaller problem than this,
though pretty crucial as well.

OpenMosix was doing that, yet stopped in 2008.

If i download what's left of OpenMosix i get a zip file of just a  
couple of hundreds of kilobyte.

Not just this, about all sorts of objective tests there was in HPC,  
they no longer get published on the net it seems.
Nowadays you'll have to do with the manufacturer info - which is very  
objective info of course.

I've got here some QDR infiniband cards and a SSI would be pretty  
useful for it. Yet ethernet is a tad slow sort of protocol of course.
The cards do that at 10 gigabit. They're however 40 gigabit (bi- 
directional) at non-ethernet standards.

You don't want to throw that away of course.

Note it's still useless to me without capability of migrating shared  
memory - and not the entire gigabytes, but of course migrating just a  
few kilobytes
  at a time...
