I have a graph-traversal problem that is beautifully and elegantly modeled in smalltalk, but it's too big (in terms of computation and storage) for one smalltalk image instance. So, I want to partition the problem across multiple instances.
My question is, is there any good way to send messages between smalltalk instances. Kind of like MPI, but for smalltalk.
I should mention that I'm on Squeak, but if there is some flavor of smalltalk with this feature, I can cope.
There is a project named Hydra underway, with a goal to make a Squeak multi-core capable. One of the main features of Hydra are also the inter-image communication channels.
