I put MPI in the kernel and got a huge performance advantage from it. I think that was a valuable idea and the results show that's definitely the case. I don't think the argument could ever be made that it belongs in the main kernel, though. A separate project with a loadable module is definitely the way to go for these things.
"Keep that out of my kernel" is an old operating system design adage that isn't paid attention to enough.

But I'd be an idiot if I can improve performance and I don't do it. } } However, if an httpd can be as fast as an kernel space httpd it'd be a bad thing to put it } in kernel space. - 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/
