	hi,

	I'm building a distributed VLSI application with PVM on several
  workstations.

	I'm looking for a simple ressource manager to do load balancing.
  It should complete the pvm_spawn funtion by either selecting the
  best available host, or delaying the request until a host is free.
  Allocation criteria should be CPU load or RAM size (not swap size).
  Its code should be available for workstations (MPP not necessary).
  We mainly use SPARC and Linux.

	I've just begun to have a look at condor, PRM, DQS, but I think
  they are to big for my purpose.

	Any advices ?

	thanks,				[ged@cao-vlsi.ibp.fr]
