{section: Module Description}
CL-MW: A distributed master/worker library written for Common Lisp.

{subsection: Features include}
*: Rapid prototyping of master/worker style distributed algorithms.
*: Scales to ~10K slaves in an opportunistic execution environment.
*: A management API to bound memory consumption while generating tasks.
*: Easy integration with well known high throughput batch processing systems
such as HTCondor, etc.
*: Production of application binaries.
*: Robust task execution during slave failure such as unexpected slave
death or hang.
*: Well documented.
*: Included example programs.
*: and more!

{subsection: Supported platforms}
Currently CL-MW operates with SBCL on Linux and uses IOLib as
its networking library. Patches will be accepted for other lisp
implementations and environments. However, I only have resources
to test on SBCL on Linux.
