Parallel programming

[Peter]

Look for "PI calculus", "API calculus" and "deadlock-free algorythms" and
"non-blocking synchronization". These are more or less they keys to parallel
computing. Mosix is a well known implementation of distributed computing that
runs  on Linux (too) and it has a lot of documentation. The Ada and Java common
programming languages have native parallel processing support (of some sort).
Someone on this list ran a small cluster for graphics I think, I believe that he
gave it up (I believe it was William Park). The subject is huge and I am not an
expert :)
