SYS V Shared Memory Applications Sought

[brett at lanai.cs.ucla.edu]

Greetings from the west coast.  We are currently seeking applic-
ations  to run on our  distributed shared memory system which is 
upward compatible with the System V IPC shared memory interface. 
We have extended this interface/implementation to operate across 
site boundaries to work in our specific environment at UCLA.

We are currently looking for applications which  run  under  this
interface  to  prepare  a reasonably extensive set of performance
tests for evaluation of both the  concept  of  simulating  shared
memory in a non-shared memory environment, as  well as the imple-
mentation.  I was hoping you wizards would be able to point us in
the right direction.  We seek a variety of applications which  we 
can test in a variety of configurations on a single  site  system 
or  across a network of nodes.  Source code may  be necessary  if
there are incompatibilities between our environment and the  ones
from which the applications are derived or if we need to make 
minor adjustments in the applications themselves.

I am under the impression that there are  a  number  of  applica-
tions,  especially  network  oriented ones, which have been built.
We'd  be  happy to share whatever results we obtain with you or 
the author of the programs as soon as we have them.
