Description:
------------
  The project is about making a Custom(izable) Little Cluster. The idea is to
implement a server part and a client(s) part(s) with a base transmission and
control of the data to be processed by the cluster. The server and the
clients should provide an API for other people to develop plugins depending
on the task they want to realize. Some example plugins are going to be
developed to test the software too.
It should be developed under and targeted for GNU/Linux systems and using a
heavy threaded architecture to take advantage of its implementataion in the
Linux 2.6 series kernel. The coding language is going to be C exclusively.
In future stages it should be possible to have distributed servers and
clients acting together so the master of every task could be different
physical machines.
A protocol for data transmission between nodes should be implemented as well,
needing to be as flexible as possible to allow the diversity of plugins to its
most.
The project has passed the design phase and I have no written code yet as I
was going to start directly using Savannah with an already-confirmed partner
and two probable-partners, and hoping more intersted partners can help us.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The project will need communications libraries for TCP and UDP
transmission, the threads library for Linux 2.6 kernel an possibly the
ncurses library to display information. For the example plugin the
cryptographic library may be used (not yet decided).
All the libraries used are going to be the standard ones used under GNU/Linux
as we want to provide maximum compatibility with this environment at minimum
cost.
