	I am developing a multi-user database system using C code for
the database engine which would be located on a single host. The slave
nodes would primarily be user interfaces. For cpu intensive routines
(sorting large indexes, searching on non-key fields, merging etc.) I
plan to use distributed algorithms. All of the literature that I have
found for parallel algorithms are designed for a single
multi-processor machine. If anyone has experience, code, or can point
me in the right literature direction on this topic, I would be
eternally grateful!

Thanks in advance

Rob
