Perhaps Erik would like to speak for himself, but last I checked he didn't
want a distributed pid space, nor did he want a full-fledged load-balancing
system. The goal of this project is more single system image, which is why
he masquerades the PID's in the first place. If you are looking for a
full-fledged load-balancing system, allow me to point you to MOSIX at
http://www.cnds.jhu.edu/mirrors/mosix/
or if you are interested more in the development of such a system, check
