I'm hoping, but my dreams do not include shared memory over a network. That's just way too slow. It's been done a pile of times, every time people say that the caching will make it fast enough and those people are wrong every time.
People who think DSM is a good idea are the same people who think a millisecond is OK for a cache miss (current cache miss times are well under .0002 milliseconds). -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
