RE: [Vampire-public] Xenofarm

[Burrus, Nicolas]

I've just read the documentation, and it suffers major limitations:

- Each potential client machine has to run a standalone script, which wait
for a tarball to be uploaded on a web server. Thus, clients must be
authorized to access external web servers, and must run a daemon (written in
sh, so it should be quite portable).

- There is no communication nor scheduling between client and servers, the
server just upload a tarball on a webserver, and the clients detect it,
compile the tarball, and upload the results on the webserver.

- All client machines run every tests, there is no concept of similar
machines, with an optimal repartition of tests.

I may have missed some points which remove some of the above limitations,
but as far as I've seen Xenofarm does not make Vampire useless :)

Xenofarm is a distributed system for cross platform compilation and
verification of software components. It is primarily used to help
achieve and maintain portable source code across hardware
architechtures, operating system and libraries and to quickly detect
and fix regression bugs in source code.
