greetings from bandit, a new member

[Bandit-2]

Greetings:

My name is bandit Gangwere.
I am a friend of Ken Lloyd.
I am a Systems Engineer and specialize in Mission-Critical embedded systems.
Right now, I am interested in learning if this field can be applied
to making better embedded systems, or in applying them to new fields.
I also have a 16-yo son in the larval-geek phase and want to expose
him to a broad set of fields and interests.

When I am able to make it to one of the Fri morning events,
I will explain how I got the name 'bandit'.
You will then never forget me, for good or ill :^)

Thanks ... bandit

Welcome, Bandit!

I am also very interested in reliable massively parallel embedded systems.
In fact, as I have not yet posted my own introduction, I will try to compose
one now.

Hi Dale, bandit,

A couple of projects possibly of interest..

http://www.xtreemos.eu
http://www.kerrighed.org

Idea of XtreemOS is to allow migration of jobs not just amongst a
cluster (as with Kerrighed), but amongst a heterogeneous computing
platform (e.g. over the internet).   Both are Linux kernel extensions.

Marcus, Dale, and Bandit,

You might be interested in NVidia's CUDA which uses the GPU instead of the
CPU for MPC.  NVidia has also launched Tesla - a MPC platform.
