Sorry mpelosi but are you nuts. Visual Basic 6 was released in 1998 with MS 10 years of support is was officially dead for usage in 2008. So anything built in that now is a secuirty risk. There is no way I would allow your program on a system with 1000+ cores with it code in Visual Basic 6. Linux does have safe guards against doing a few things. You might be hitting one but at this stage no point talking about them until idea is sane. Also you are most likely recreating this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface http://www.open-mpi.org/ http://pympi.sourceforge.net Python Perl ADA and many other languages can be used with it. All free all upto date and current. All cross platform so no requirement for wine at all. And since this is a tested interface you will not risk a 1000+ core system malfunction. Even better the solutions I have mentioned don't require cluster system to even be x86.
