Hello;

	I have not any friend working in SGI Inc., then I try to search some 
in Netnews, Because I am working on a project for quantum chemistry computing 
special on the load share issues on Power-Challenge. In Power-Challenge there 
is the beautiful graphic descriptions about the system load information 
using gr_osview command. 
	I have some experiments of measuring load information for examples
measuring run_queue_length using nlist() to read /vmuxnix on SUN-Unix 
Workstations. I have tried to using same techniques to measure the load
information on SGI workstations and Power-Challenge ( read data in 
/usr/include/sys/runq_private.h and sysinfo.h) but unsuccessful. I 
need really help from you and SGI Inc. for doing this work in order to start up
my work. 
	I would appreciate it very much if you can tell me any information 
about doing this. If possible please forward my question to the designer of 
the gr_osview() on Power-Challenge or give me the email address of the 
gr_osview() designer in your company. Any tips, pointers or suggestions 
gratefully received. Thanks in advance!


best wishes!
