That's super cool. I'd love to see any of your papers/code.

  I wish I still had it. There was a lot of my blood, sweat and frustration in that code. :) I lost everything I had archived in a series of hardware failures and stupidities... I've repeatedly asked the co-founders to let me have some of the stuff and they still refuse. They didn't think I should have had it to start with. It really was simple in concept though. Basically a queue server on each machine, memory mapped files and containers/string class/bignum class etc using placement new. The hard part was finding machines that weren't steaming piles of crap. Compaq was the only company we found that had server class machines we could rely on. We also had to stick to IBMs C++ compiler due to all the bugs in Borland and Watcom at the time.
