      <description>C-Sharifi Cluster Engine: The Second Success Story on &quot;Kernel-Level&lt;br&gt;
Paradigm&quot; for Distributed Computing Support&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Contrary to two school of thoughts in providing system software&lt;br&gt;
support for distributed computation that advocate either the&lt;br&gt;
development of a whole new distributed operating system (like Mach),&lt;br&gt;
or the development of library-based or patch-based middleware on top&lt;br&gt;
of existing operating systems (like MPI, Kerrighed and Mosix), Dr.&lt;br&gt;
Mohsen Sharifi hypothesized another school of thought as his thesis in&lt;br&gt;
1986 that believes all distributed systems software requirements and&lt;br&gt;
supports can be and must be built at the Kernel Level of existing&lt;br&gt;
operating systems; requirements like Ease of Programming, Simplicity,&lt;br&gt;
Efficiency, Accessibility, etc which may be coined as Usability.&lt;br&gt;
Although the latter belief was hard to realize, a sample byproduct&lt;br&gt;
called DIPC was built purely based on this thesis and openly announced&lt;br&gt;
to the Linux community worldwide in 1993.  This was admired for being&lt;br&gt;
able to provide necessary supports for distributed communication at&lt;br&gt;
the Kernel Level of Linux for the first time in the world, and for&lt;br&gt;
providing Ease of Programming as a consequence of being realized at&lt;br&gt;
the Kernel Level. However, it was criticized at the same time as being&lt;br&gt;
inefficient. This did not force the school to trade Ease of&lt;br&gt;
Programming for Efficiency but instead tried hard to achieve&lt;br&gt;
efficiency, alongside ease of programming and simplicity, without&lt;br&gt;
defecting the school that advocates the provision of all needs at the&lt;br&gt;
kernel level. The result of this effort is now manifested in the C-&lt;br&gt;
Sharifi Cluster Engine.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;C-Sharifi is a cost effective distributed system software engine in&lt;br&gt;
support of high performance computing by clusters of off-the-shelf&lt;br&gt;
computers. It is wholly implemented in Kernel, and as a consequence of&lt;br&gt;
following this school, it has Ease of Programming, Ease of Clustering,&lt;br&gt;
Simplicity, and it can be configured to fit as best as possible to the&lt;br&gt;
efficiency requirements of applications that need high performance.&lt;br&gt;
It supports both distributed shared memory and message passing styles,&lt;br&gt;
it is built in Linux, and its cost/performance ratio in some&lt;br&gt;
scientific applications (like meteorology and cryptanalysis) has shown&lt;br&gt;
to be far better than non-kernel-based solutions and engines (like&lt;br&gt;
MPI, Kerrighed and Mosix).&lt;br&gt;

      <description>This is just a propaganda about something that is not&lt;br&gt;
accepted by any formal/informal community. There is no&lt;br&gt;
article about it. just compare the text of all search&lt;br&gt;
results of Google about it. just copied and pasted texts&lt;br&gt;
which are the same.&lt;br&gt;
no article, no scientific approach. finally its all with you&lt;br&gt;
to find out more about it.&lt;br&gt;

      <description>Dear Kovalvaski,&lt;br&gt;
thanks for your attention.&lt;br&gt;
CSharifi is Cluster Engine. We are using it for Solving&lt;br&gt;
Computation Time paradigm. if you want more information&lt;br&gt;
about it, please connect me.&lt;br&gt;
