I am sorry to be a wet blanket, but why are you doing this work? Projects done in a vacuum because its author thinks it would be cool to work on generally don't go anywhere useful. Particularly when there are multiple other projects that do the same thing already.

If you have a real computational problem to solve, then install Mosix, write your logic using fork when you can, and call it a day. If you want failover, write it as a web application, avoid silly things like shared memory, and put a load balancer in front of it. If your problem is embarrassingly parallel, but you need different machines to co-operate, don't bother with an official cluster. Instead communicate through a database, and keep a current status table of jobs that need to be done, have been started, etc.

Each of these has been called a cluster, they each solve different problems, and all are usable right now in Perl.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
