So I decided that I would write a small distributed VM for my ownãvirtualized-only instruction set (I don't know what I would have called it,ãD-ISA?). I started writing it today as to see if I could make something coolã(which I have done before and I know I can).ããIt is written/being written in Java.ããBasically the processing is executed on the main machine where DVM is being runãand then assignments to memory segments are handled by the DVM which shardsãthem accross to the configured nodes. That is the idea basically. I still needãto finish writing the specification and have only written some basic interfaceãfor command-line arguments and verifying them but when I have more time I willãmove quicker. Just don't want to rush the ISA design as it is something I wantãto be concise and non redundant - modular is what I mean.ããWhat I need to create once this is done is a program to encode instructionsãinto the ISA or simply write bytes to disk using Python's REPL (which may beãbetter for testing as I wouldn't want to rush writing yet another program forãencoding DVM programs).ããAnyway. I will post updates here about it.ãããI like trying out things like this as it's just fun and I will post updatesãwhen I can.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ UsersClub BBS - userclub-bbs.comã

DVM will handle all the mappings ofãwhich node has stored what data on disk and what node has stored what data inãits memory and then set and retrieve from the respective node. Once thisãset/retrieve process is done then instructions using memory continue to run asãnormal.ããThere will obviously be two specifications here, D-ISA, and then the contorlãprotocol for the DVM to talk to the nodes (which will most likely be some otherãporgam that runs on those nodes that I write).ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ UsersClub BBS - userclub-bbs.comã
