hi,
has anyone looked into using message passing on
plan9.  We are looking into building a 
smallish plan9 cluster -- between 128 and 512 processors
that we would like run some
physics codes on (eg. weather modeling, QCD,etc)...
right now. those most codes here use MPI or OpenMP.
but is there is a better way that uses the plan
9 architecture in a more optimal (scalable) way.
