1This is a library for writing distributed (i.e., multi-dispatcher, multi-domain)
2services.
3
4It currently provides:
5- startup code - a framework for starting distributed services
6- service registration - code to register and lookup services
7- barriers - based on the chips name service
8
9This library is in development. We envisage it to contain support for:
10- group management
11- distributed datastructures
12 + replication and consistency for the distributed datastructs
13 + partitioning for the distributed datastructs
14 + data sharing for the distributed datastructs
15- group communication
16- consensus
17- fault tolerance
18- direct barriers (not based on name-service)?
