If you prefer more of an SMP model (simpler programming), you should
look at ScaleMP DSMs. Some on this list argue the shared memory

Gee, and I thought the biggest argument about ScaleMP was that the
previous 50 times the same thing was attempted, it had low
performance.
The researchy DSMs had low performance. That is known. This one seems
not to be bad over good IB nets. You always have latency. Can't escape
that.
I'd love to see some benchmarks (other than Stream). So if you do look
at it, please share.
If you are serious about this, I'll bug Shai as to what is shareable.
He does have benchmarks. The ones I have seen (real applications, not
microbenchmarks), looked pretty good. Which is why we are looking at them.
