multi.jl

## multi.jl - multiprocessing
##
## julia starts with one process, and processors can be added using:
##   addprocs(n)                         using exec
##   addprocs({"host1","host2",...})     using remote execution
##
## remotecall(w, func, args...) -
##     tell a worker to call a function on the given arguments.
##     returns a RemoteRef to the result.
##
## remote_do(w, f, args...) - remote function call with no result
##
## wait(rr) - wait for a RemoteRef to be finished computing
##
## fetch(rr) - wait for and get the value of a RemoteRef
##
## remotecall_fetch(w, func, args...) - faster fetch(remotecall(...))
##
## pmap(func, lst) -
##     call a function on each element of lst (some 1-d thing), in
##     parallel.
##
## RemoteRef() - create an uninitialized RemoteRef on the local processor
##
## RemoteRef(p) - ...or on a particular processor
##
## put!(r, val) - store a value to an uninitialized RemoteRef
##
## @spawn expr -
##     evaluate expr somewhere. returns a RemoteRef. all variables in expr
##     are copied to the remote processor.
##
## @spawnat p expr - @spawn specifying where to run
##
## @async expr -
##     run expr as an asynchronous task on the local processor
##
## @parallel (r) for i=1:n ... end -
##     parallel loop. the results from each iteration are reduced using (r).
##
## @everywhere expr - run expr everywhere.

# todo:
# - more indexing
# * take!() to empty a Ref (full/empty variables)
# * have put!() wait on non-empty Refs
# - removing nodes
# - more dynamic scheduling
# * fetch/wait latency seems to be excessive
# * message aggregation
# - timer events
# - send pings at some interval to detect failed/hung machines
# - integrate event loop with other kinds of i/o (non-messages)
# ? method_missing for waiting (getindex/setindex!/localdata seems to cover a lot)
# * serializing closures
# * recover from i/o errors
# * handle remote execution errors
# * all-to-all communication
# * distributed GC
# * call&wait and call&fetch combined messages
# * aggregate GC messages
# * dynamically adding nodes (then always start with 1 and grow)
# * add readline to event loop
# * GOs/darrays on a subset of nodes

## workers and message i/o ##
