Like fork() but teleports the forked process to a different computer!
Like fork() but teleports the forked process to a different computer!
Check out the blog post I wrote about this project!
Basically it's like the fork() syscall except it can fork a process onto a
different computer. It does this using a bunch of ptrace magic to serialize
the memory mappings of the process, stream them over a pipe and recreate them
on the other end along with the registers and some other process state.
Read the code in src/lib.rs!. I specifically wrote it all in one file with
tons of comments in an order meant to read top to bottom. Hopefully it should
be easy enough to understand what it's doing, provided some familiarity with
systems programming concepts.
basic and load: Save and restore a process state to a fileteleserver and teleclient: Fork a process to a remote serveryoyo_client and yoyo_client_raw: Execute a closure on a remote server by teleforking there and backsmallpt: Use yoyo to run a path tracing render on a remote server from a local executable.No open issues yet, or sync has not completed.
