Look at what I found here:
At first glance this looks somewhat similar to Connection Machine Lisp, but at a larger scale.
Aha... *lisp, you mean?
I mean this paper: http://fresh.homeunix.net/~luke/misc/ConnectionMachineLisp.pdf I don't remember it mentioning the term *Lisp...
This one seems to me particularily interesting, among other things because it is actually in use. If I understand it correctly, these folks (at google) are using one absolutely monstruous cluster of comodity boxes with this.
That, they do. :)
Also, AFAICT, this is very close to the example given in the NetCLOS paper (longer version).
I haven't gotten around to reading that yet.
This is all very interesting for me.
Same here.
I'll update my references page with "MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters", "Connection Machine Lisp: Fine-Grained Parallel Symbolic Processing", "Making Asynchronous Parallelism Safe for the World", and "Naming and Synchronization in a Decentralized Computer System". Should be up this evening, but Google if you can't wait. ;)
Kind regards,
