{section: Module Description} -The Example Module does wonderful things. .... (More module description here... ) +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 Condor, 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. {section: Download} -The module can be downloaded from {link: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~psilord/lisp-public/index.html here}. + +Version 0.1 can be downloaded from +{link: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~psilord/lisp-public/releases/cl-mw/0.1/cl-mw-0.1.tar.gz here} +with an +{link: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~psilord/lisp-public/releases/cl-mw/0.1/ref-0.1/ref.html HTML} +manual and a +{link: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~psilord/lisp-public/releases/cl-mw/0.1/ref-0.1.pdf PDF} +manual available. {section: Contact} -The contact person for this module is Peter Keller from UW-Madison (psilord at cs.wisc.edu). +The contact person for this module is: Peter Keller (psilord@cs.wisc.edu) -{section: Homepage} -More information about this module can be found {link: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~psilord/lisp-public/index.html here}. +While Peter Keller is a member of The Condor Team, CL-MW is not an official +product of Condor. +{section: Homepage} +More information about this module can be found +{link: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~psilord/lisp-public/index.html here}. {section: License} -This module is released under the Apache License...
