Is that a joke? EROS and object-capability operating systems in general are indeed interesting and potentially very useful, but what does it have to do with Beowulf clusters? I haven't heard of anyone using any capability-secure OS whatsoever on a Beowulf cluster. Any counter-examples would be interesting. Also, Jonathan Shapiro, the head of the EROS project, long ago switched to its successor Coyotos and BitC projects, and then earlier this year, left both Coyotos and academia entirely to work for Microsoft on their Midori project: http://www.coyotos.org/pipermail/bitc-dev/2009-April/001784.html http://www.coyotos.org/pipermail/coyotos-dev/2009-April/001867.html http://www.coyotos.org/pipermail/coyotos-dev/2009-July/001872.html I suppose CapROS (another EROS successor) might still be a live project: http://www.capros.org/ -- Andrew Piskorski <a...@piskorski.com> http://www.piskorski.com/ _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
